Chapter 266 New Ship
"Since they are all old friends of Du Yu, they are my brothers, Qin Ziwen's brothers. Please sit down, everyone. This is real dragon meat, which I hunted in the desert some time ago, and it took quite a bit of effort. Du Yu, please entertain these friends well for me," Qin Ziwen said with a smile.

Du Yu understood his lord's meaning and led the three of them to the front hall.

Qin Ziwen and his younger brother continued working in the kitchen.

When he brought the steaming hot dinosaur meat to the front hall, Du Yu and the three of them were already mingling together.

"I never expected Brother Du to have such an opportunity. There are such amazing places in this world." Yan Da exclaimed in admiration, and when he looked at Qin Ziwen again, his eyes showed a hint of awe.

They were all江湖人 (jianghu people), speaking jianghu language and doing jianghu things.

When you encounter someone with real skills, you'll inevitably have to exchange skills and verify your abilities.

In the previous hand-to-hand combat, the three of them took turns attacking, yet Du Yu managed to take them down with a single hand.

The three of them fell silent for a moment, deeply shocked.

Brother Du's skills are truly awe-inspiring.

According to him, his lord's abilities were even greater than his own... It was simply unimaginable.

As he ate the meat, perhaps because he had seen the dragon's head, Yan Da felt that the meat was exceptionally fragrant and had a unique flavor.

The three were enjoying their meal when Yan San put down the bone in his hand and spoke highly of Du Yu, saying, "We admire Brother Du's skills. The only abilities we three brothers have are in the water and in our fists and feet."

"To be able to take down the three of us together with my bare hands, even the legendary Lu Taibao, known as 'The Fist That Shakes Both Banks of the Yellow River,' might not be able to match him."

Du Yu smiled slightly, "Actually, when I first came here, my skills were about the same as my three brothers. It was all thanks to the lord's cultivation that I am where I am today."

Upon hearing these words, the three Yan brothers reacted in different ways.

Yan San looked longingly at him, while Yan Wu lowered his head in thought and secretly glanced at his boss.

Yan Da seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze sweeping over his two brothers before finally settling on Qin Ziwen.

"Brother Qin," he clasped his hands in a fist salute, "we three brothers were originally fishermen by the river. We begged for food in the water from a young age and learned some underwater skills. Later, we apprenticed under a disrobed master and learned some basic martial arts, which is how we earned the nickname 'The Three Ghosts of the Yan Family' in the martial arts world. Our parents passed away a few years ago."

The court is corrupt, and we are unwilling to serve as lackeys for those corrupt officials any longer. Hearing Brother Du's words today has ignited a fire within us. If our boss doesn't mind our crudeness, we'll brave water and fire at his command!

Qin Ziwen was overjoyed. He slammed his hand on the table and said to his younger brother, "Xiao Wu, go and fetch a jar of yellow wine. Today, we brothers will drink until we're all drunk."

After several rounds of drinks, Qin Ziwen and the three men extended a recruitment invitation.

The three of them agreed in succession.

This time, Qin Ziwen tried not to arrange for the three of them to stay in a tavern, but instead arranged for them to stay in a private residence.

I tried it, and it really works.

Therefore, the three were assigned to a newly built Class 2 residential house.

Qin Ziwen, Du Yu, and Qin Ziwu then worked together to carry the three drunken men into a residential house.

He then summoned Jia Liangcai, gave him some instructions, and made arrangements for the three of them.

After leaving the house, Qin Ziwen asked Du Yu about the three men's martial arts skills.

After thinking for a moment, Du Yu gave a passable evaluation.

"That's fine then." Qin Ziwen was satisfied; being rated as acceptable by Du Yu was already quite good.

Most importantly, these three claim to be skilled in underwater combat; once they wake up, I'll have to verify that.

The three of them didn't wake up until evening.

After waking up, Yan Da rubbed his temples, pondered for a long time, thought about the conversation before he got drunk, and looked around at his surroundings.

As he emerged from the house, he found several people waiting outside. "The brave warriors have awakened," Liu San said with a smile.

Yan Da clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Old man, where is Boss Qin?"

"I don't know about that. Lord Jia should know." Liu San shook his head. Even if he knew where his lord was, he couldn't just say it casually.

Yan Da said, "It's alright, let's just wait here for the boss to come."

Yan San looked around and was very curious about the novel environment.

Especially those huge buildings in the distance, they look extraordinary.

Not long after, Qin Ziwen arrived upon hearing the news. "Haha, you've woken up just in time! Three brothers, come with me."

Qin Ziwen led the three of them to the Ghost Shipyard.

The ghost ship was just completed. On the original basis, a layer of ghost gold ship film was coated on the surface to cover the connection area that looked like a scar.

Qin Ziwen now has only one node slot left. Of the other two nodes, one is cooling down and the other is located tens of meters below the surface of the ocean.

He felt it was inappropriate to push the ghost ship directly into the deep sea, dozens of meters below the surface. Although the ship had already shown some strange characteristics, it was still quite different from the legendary ghost ship.

Pushing it directly into the deep sea could lead to a secondary sinking.

Sending it out through the main gate of the house won't work either; the boat is too big and the gate is too small, it can't get out.

The most suitable option right now is a node.

However, if it is fixed on the sea surface, and the last node is used, then he will not have any spare nodes to place for the time being.

After much deliberation, Qin Ziwen decided to use it, since the purpose of building a ship is to put it out into the world.

Otherwise, all that effort to build a large ship, only to keep it hidden at home and dare not take it out, would be a complete waste.

However, the location of the last node on the sea surface needs to be carefully selected.

Moreover, it's best to choose a good opportunity.

Qin Ziwen thought of the mosasaur.

If it reappears, perhaps we can deploy nodes directly on the sea surface near it to catch it off guard.

And behind him.

The three Yan brothers who followed were all shocked when they saw the ghost ship.

"Brother, maybe only the emperor's dragon boat is this big."

Yan Da sighed, "Normally, most of those cargo ships and merchant ships are only six or seven zhang long, but this giant ship is probably over fifteen zhang long."

"Wait, brother, look, the ropes on that mast seem to be moving." Yan Wu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the ship.

"What's so strange about a rope moving? The cableman is just reeling in a rope and you're already scared?" Yan San was about to laugh at his brother when his pupils suddenly contracted, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

Because he saw that the ship's mooring ropes, without anyone controlling them, were moving on their own!

"There's something strange about this ship."

“Our newly recognized leader is no ordinary person.” Yan Da noticed that Qin Ziwen seemed oblivious to the commotion on the ship, indicating that he was already aware of these unusual events.

"Look at those sails, they look so light and fluttering, like smoke. I wonder how this ship was built." Yan Wu shook his head, but then he thought that since Boss Qin had called them here, could it be that they would be staying on this ship from now on?
