This pirate only wants to farm.

On the Scholar, old Tony held up a telescope, gazing at the Stormfury in the distance, completely oblivious to the fact that his hair was soaked by the rain and clung to his body, revealing his hunched figure.

A moment later, old Tony put away his monoculars and turned to Owen, saying, "Have Sal take a small boat and tell those pirates roaming the area to stay away from this route for at least three days."

Irving nodded heavily and turned to give instructions at the back. After a moment, he returned and looked at old Tony, who was wiping his gun, and said, "Captain Sal has already gone."

"But do we really need to help those filthy pirates?"

Old Tony shook his head: "We're dirty pirates too, but at this time, we're all the same."

Owen still didn't understand: "Why? We're completely different from those pirates, why should we help them? Even if they threatened us, we don't have to go to such lengths."

"Didn't you say we needed to finish the business as soon as possible to accumulate resources for researching the Windless Sea?"

Old Tony sighed and said earnestly, "Son, we're not helping those pirates, we're helping ourselves."

"These ships all belong to the Oren Empire. On this windless sea, the only one who can be connected to the Oren Empire is the woman named Elizabeth on the Hades."

"So, whatever their purpose may be, they are all heading towards the Netherworld Ship, towards that lord."

"Helping that person is helping ourselves, do you understand?"

Owen nodded thoughtfully, but then asked with some doubt, "Then why don't we just tell that person directly? With the Scholar's speed, although it would be more tiring, we should be able to find the Underworld sooner, right?"

"With a natal chart in place, we should be faster than them."

Old Tony smiled calmly and reached out to touch Irving's damp, curly hair: "Kid, you don't understand."

"The course of history is unstoppable. Since it is unstoppable, we must make its progress smoother."

Owen didn't quite understand, but looking at the captain's calm eyes, he asked, "Have you discovered something?"

Old Tony smiled, offering neither explanation nor answer, but simply turning his head to look at the Storm's Fury not far away, as if questioning, or perhaps muttering:

"Do you think that person might have known all this before heading to the center of the Windless Sea?"

The massive magical warship was shrouded in the rain, but in old Tony's eyes it grew fainter and fainter, as if it had been wiped away by the heavy rain.

........................

The captain's cabin of the Hades is eerie.

The Dark Earth's pitch-black body already looked somewhat sinister and eerie, but now it's even more terrifying than before.

The captain's cabin door was wide open, and one could clearly see that round human faces, about the size of a thumb, had sprouted from the black furniture, peering around in the darkness and occasionally revealing a satisfied expression.

Three days!

Only three days!

How did my captain's cabin become such a mess?

Lin Qi sat at the head of the long table, his expression as unpleasant as if he had just swallowed a fly.

Elizabeth and Wangcai sat in the opposite corner, each with a segment of orange stuffed in their mouths, their eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact with the captain, as if they could eat oranges forever.

Lin Qi was quite distressed: How did Ming Tuhao go further and further down the evil path?

Looking at the two trembling little ones opposite him, Lin Qi could only sigh deeply.

Although it was indeed Elizabeth and Wangcai's sneezes that caused the captain's cabin to become like this, the captain himself was the real culprit.

Lin Qi ultimately decided not to cause trouble for the two little ones, but simply sighed helplessly, "Wangcai."

"squeak!"

Upon hearing the captain's call, Wangcai, who was sitting in Elizabeth's lap, shuddered and almost fell off. He quickly grabbed the edge of the table, flipped himself onto the long table, and gave Lin Qi a rather awkward salute.

Even Elizabeth quickly stood up and saluted, afraid of being reprimanded by the captain.

Seeing the two little ones looking terrified, Lin Qi waved his hand helplessly: "I didn't mean to blame you. I also bear some responsibility for this. I just wanted to ask how you've processed it, and whether you can continue on your way?"

Hearing this, the man and the monkey breathed a sigh of relief. Wangcai, with its neck shrunken, cautiously glanced at the captain, who showed no sign of anger, before nodding and squeaking.

Having received Wangcai's affirmative reply, Lin Qi nodded: "That's good. I estimate that after a while, we won't have to worry about the location chart anymore, so let's set sail as soon as possible and continue our journey towards the center of the Windless Sea."

"Squeak!"

"Captain, I'm going to help Wangcai too!"

The man and the monkey, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly fled the captain's cabin.

Looking at the empty captain's cabin filled only with these growing human-faced disc mushrooms, Lin Qi felt quite exhausted.

Lin Qi shook his head helplessly, stood up, put on his captain's uniform and tricorn hat, and went up to the deck.

At times like these, only seeing the lush crops in the fields can bring him a sense of peace.

After resting here for three days, the Hades finally resumed its voyage, and the planting area on the Hades was finally expanded.

Lin Qi glanced at the two little ones huddled on the upper deck, shook his head helplessly, and walked to the newly cultivated farmland on the deck, casually tossing aside the control panel.

Plantation Name: Hades

Plantation Level: 2 (1/3 of the required experience points to upgrade)

[Plant area: 45 meters long, 15 meters wide]

[Suitable planting area: 35 square meters.]

[Crops available: 2 citrus trees, 1 tea tree, 2 breadberry bushes, 3 spice bushes, 4 coconut trees.]

[Idle planting area: 5 square meters.]

Plantation owner: Lynch.

Looking at the increased area on the panel, Lin Qi couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the troubled look on his face finally turned into a smile: "Although there have been some twists and turns, there have still been gains."

The Hades has finally grown again, with changes in both the length of the hull and the arable area.

Lin Qi looked at the extra small plot of land and nodded thoughtfully: "Last time, Wangcai swallowed the ship and gained two more plots of land, but this time there's only one more."

"So that means Wangcai used some of its power to repair the Underworld Ship?"

Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction. Although it was still a bit different from his ideal of directly creating two more fields, gradually repairing the Netherworld was equally important.

The Hades was his home, but no matter how big the farmland was, the dilapidated house still made him feel uncomfortable.

Now all these problems can be solved by devouring ships; there couldn't be better news.

Lin Qi chuckled and rubbed his hands together, then took out the sealed little cloth bag from his pocket, his expression turning serious: "Next, we should think about how to grow this thing."

This small cloth bag contains the spores we obtained earlier. Although a lot of them were ruined by Elizabeth and Wangcai's sneezes, the remaining ones are still good enough for planting.

Despite the considerable number of mushrooms growing in the captain's cabin, those human-face disc mushrooms were not actually recognized by the Underworld Plantation.

Once these mushrooms are not recognized by the Hades, they will not be able to grow as quickly as other crops.

Having learned from his previous experience, Lin Qi first dug a small pit in the newly added farmland, then put his wet fingers into the small cloth bag, picked up some mushroom spores, and evenly sprinkled them into the pitch-black pit.

He didn't know much about mushroom cultivation, and he didn't have much experience in his previous life either. He decided to give it a try and see how it went.

After burying all the mushroom spores in the soil, Lynch silently began his breeding technique.

However, when the green light shone into the soil, Lin Qi frowned.

"Um?"

"It didn't work?"
