This pirate only wants to farm.

Chapter 17 This winter will be very cold

Lynch wasn't particularly fond of coconuts at first, but when he heard old Tony say that they could be used as a water source, he immediately became interested.

"Moonlight coconut? I never expected to find such a magical thing here."

Before Lin Qi could ask for details, Elizabeth suddenly poked her head out, looking curiously at the withered seed in Lin Qi's hand.

Lynch looked at Elizabeth, who was full of curiosity, with surprise: "You know about this Moonlight Coconut?"

Elizabeth nodded, tilted her head and thought for a moment: "My father told me about this kind of coconut. I've even drunk two of them. It tastes like clear mountain spring water, and it's quite nice."

"My father told me that this is a gift from nature to sailors, and it is only possible to retrieve these magical coconuts from the sea when there is a tsunami."

"Moreover, this stuff seems to be very expensive. Sailors who salvage it rarely drink it; instead, they sell it. It's said that some magicians buy these coconuts at high prices."

Old Tony chuckled and nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's not just a source of water; for some magicians and alchemists, it's also a valuable material."

"Don't underestimate this coconut. It can filter seawater to produce clean water. In fact, it also contains a lot of water elements."

Elizabeth pouted: "But the problem is that my father said this thing is very rare and impossible to grow. There's only a tiny chance of finding it in places filled with magical elements."

"Moreover, once the magical elements disappear, these coconut trees will turn into ordinary coconut trees. And it takes 10 to 15 days to harvest a batch of coconuts, which is not enough for the vast ocean."

Elizabeth's meaning was self-evident: she didn't want her captain to be fooled.

No matter how you look at it, planting moon coconuts is an impossible task.

However, Lynch and old Tony smiled, a smile tinged with greed.

Is it difficult to grow?

Are you kidding me? The Hades, which can even grow spice bushes, can't grow a coconut tree?

You know, spice bushes are also a magical crop, yet they still grew on the Hades.

As for production volume?

That was a negligible flaw for the Hades.

Lynch's plantation already accelerated plant growth, and with its growth-boosting spell and fertilizer made from undead skeletons, Lynch wasn't worried at all about the long harvest time.

Elizabeth's dissuasion did not deter Lynch; instead, it made him even more interested in the magical Moon Coconut.

Old Tony, looking as if he had expected this, chuckled and asked Lynch, "Captain Lynch, are you satisfied with this news?"

Lin Qi clapped his hands: "Satisfied, how could I not be satisfied?"

However, Old Tony looked somewhat ashamed: "I originally wanted to bring the seed back, but unfortunately, there were more than a dozen level 15 magical beasts on the island we encountered. The young man who went up the island only managed to grab this one withered seed before running back."

Lin Qi waved his hand dismissively: "It's already pretty good. This coordinate is enough. We can't expect a bunch of little guys to risk their lives."

"It is already quite remarkable that you are able to live on a windless sea."

Old Tony breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lynch didn't seem to care; he was afraid that just one coordinate would upset Lynch.

In fact, Lin Qi was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

This gave him another reason to get Wangcai moving to find that island. He hadn't been on land for a long time, and he felt like he was getting moldy.

People always need to have something to look forward to, don't they?

As for the so-called danger, Lin Qi didn't take it seriously at all. Didn't he just hire a female swordsman?

It would be a waste to use her superhuman strength to make fertilizer and fetch water every day; this is a good opportunity for Elizabeth to vent her boundless energy.

Even if we can't beat them, we still have the second mate, the Skeleton Army.

Seeing Lin Qi's smiling face, old Tony nodded heavily: "I'm glad you don't mind, Captain. In addition to these coordinates, we also brought some items that you need, which we traded from other ships some time ago."

The Mink Tribe is quite well-known on the Calm Sea. Unlike the ferocious pirates, they are respected by many for their refined demeanor, and people feel comfortable trading with these little guys.

It can be said that the fur-bearing tribe acted as merchants and couriers on this windless sea.

Although they don't have much military strength, they can't earn much either.

Being "stuffed" means not starving, and only when you're with Lin Qi can you occasionally have a good meal.

Upon hearing that there were new supplies, Lin Qi's eyes lit up: "Those farm tools I asked you to find, and daily necessities too?"

Old Tony nodded: "Yes, that's it, and also what you've been thinking about, uh, that big iron pot."

Lin Qi rubbed his hands together impatiently: "You guys actually found it! That's wonderful!"

"Bring me what I need quickly. How much food are you planning to exchange this time?"

In reality, there are no actual prices on the windless sea; everyone barters goods based entirely on their own needs.

Lynch didn't really care about the price. He could get his goods quickly anyway, and they would just spoil if left in the cabin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been trading with the Mink Tribe for so long.

Old Tony was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "This time we want to trade more food, but we also wanted to ask if you have any suitable weapons."

Lynch looked at old Tony with some surprise: "Weapons? Are you planning to trade these weapons?"

Not only was Lynch somewhat surprised, but even Elizabeth, standing next to him, looked at the elderly fur chieftain with surprise.

As is widely known, the Mink Tribe is a peace-loving race that detests conflict.

However, old Tony shook his head: "No, sir."

"We need it ourselves. Winter is coming to the Windless Sea. We can't always be the target of others' plundering."

"Besides, there's always another chance for a deal. With weapons, I can take them to the edge of the Windless Sea and trade them for better things from those lost ships."

Without giving it much thought, Lin Qi said to Elizabeth beside him, "Go and bring all the weapons from the warehouse over so they can choose."

"And bring over those barrels of oranges and breadfruit."

Hearing that Lynch was being so generous, old Tony quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, let's just trade according to the rules."

"We'll trade more food this time, and then we can come back to exchange it for weapons next time."

This is the key reason why Lynch loves these furry little creatures: they are never greedy and know what they need.

Although the fur-bearers knew very well that Lynch didn't care about the price of the food, since it was all just bartering to get what he wanted, they never accepted anything beyond the transaction.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi didn't press the matter and nodded, saying, "Alright, in that case, you should take more food back with you."

Old Tony wanted to say something more, but Lynch waved his hand: "It's not a gift, it's an advance payment."

"The rainy season is coming soon, and after it passes, winter will come to the windless sea. I hope to get some heating equipment, and this extra food can be considered as an advance payment."

This time, Tony didn't refuse. He bowed deeply to Lynch and said, "Thank you for your kindness. We will definitely help you find what you want."

After old Tony finished speaking, he directed the plump little furry kids to run onto the Scholar and start moving the supplies Lynch needed.

Old Tony returned to the Scholar. Owen, who was so full he could barely stand, came over and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Chief, why are you suddenly buying weapons? Didn't you say that we Minks should never get involved in these pirate conflicts?"

Old Tony looked out the porthole at the Hades, which was noticeably larger than before, and shook his head: "You don't understand, kid."

"The Hades has been revived. This winter is going to be very cold. Be prepared, the calm of the windless sea is about to end."

"We must store enough food and have the ability to protect ourselves in order to have any chance of surviving this winter."
