"...Well, he also told me that it's easy to get high with a little praise."
"This kind of evaluation is totally unnecessary!!"
Lex's face darkened, and he looked a little indignant, but he did not refute such comments. It was unknown whether he was really self-aware of his own character... or he simply felt that there was no point in refutating someone like Saki, whom he met for the first time and whose impression of him was only heard from other people.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
Someone tilted his head to look in the direction of the corridor that Lex came from. This was the only designated passage leading to the port deck where he and Nia had just exited. It was also the only way to go to the upper levels of the Uzushio.
At this moment, most of the crew members were gathered in the hall on the lower floor. The entire corridor was empty. If it weren't for the faint noise of a group of drunkards, one would have thought they had walked into a horror movie set. With the storm and thunder outside the window, the eerie atmosphere became even worse.
Of course, compared to Tenjin Elementary School at night, this was nothing, but at that time Saki was worried about some "non-existent things", but now he is worried about living people.
As another flash of lightning exploded outside the window, someone in the backlight looked at the boy beside him, paying attention to the movement at the end of the corridor, and asked in a low voice:
"Lex, don't you think this commission is a little strange?"
"Eh? Weird?"
Lex was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously lowered his voice and bowed his head in thought.
"Strange...?"
"I don't really understand the market for salvagers, but anyway, hiring so many people and charging each of them 200,000 just to salvage an ancient sunken ship, is this price really reasonable?"
While speaking, Saki kept his attention on the other end of the corridor, fearing that the final boss would suddenly appear. He gave Lex a few seconds to think about it and then continued:
"Besides, there are more mature, experienced and skilled salvagers in the guild. Why do you have to specify a salvager from the Liberaritas Islands? I don't know much about this, but have you ever seen a commission that required a salvager?"
"That being said, it is true..."
Lex folded his hands, looking thoughtful.
Previously, I was overwhelmed by the money and the joy of being summoned by the president of the Chamber of Commerce in person, and I thought that with the help of the Chamber of Commerce to endorse it, there would be no big problem and I didn't think too deeply about it. Now I think that this commission is really full of weirdness.
According to previous commissions, not to mention the commission fee of 200,000 per person, the total commission of 200,000 is considered a sky-high commission. 200,000 per person, more than 20 salvagers, the total commission fee is as high as more than 4 million G, which is an astronomical figure that Lex never dared to dream of. Just to salvage a ship? Even the coordinates of the sunken ship have been prepared. All they need to do is to reach the destination, then help to get the sunken ship up, and finally go in to confirm the contents of the ship. That's it...
That's it?
That's right. After all, the most difficult part of salvaging is the early calculations and the handling of some unexpected accidents, such as the sunken ship that was finally found being buried by other things, or being attacked by large sea creatures. As long as such a situation does not occur, it will only take a short time for such a group of experts to salvage the sunken ship.
Stupid and rich? From that fierce aura, it's obvious that he doesn't look like that kind of person.
Thinking this way, it almost seems like his conditions are even weirder...
"Maybe they just want to be more cautious?"
The boy raised his head and didn't notice that Saki's attention was not on him at all. He seemed to be comforting himself and said:
"After all, it's not surprising that something happens during a salvage operation. It's just for peace of mind..."
"Do you believe it?"
"..."
Well, he didn't believe it. If he really wanted to have peace of mind, he could just split the money and hire a few hundred salvagers, wouldn't there be any problem?
Moreover, for such a simple task, they still need "elite salvagers from the Liberaritas Islands" to lead the salvage. The key is that the money paid is so high, which does not make sense no matter how you look at it.
This is not about being ripped off, but about the money coming too quickly and not feeling secure at all. I can't figure out whether I am being ripped off or being ripped off...
"But now that we have taken this on, we can only keep going."
Lex didn't hesitate for long and raised his head again. The gloom that had just been caused by someone was gone, which made Saki frown.
Volume 71: Young Man, Young Girl and the Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter : Great Wisdom Appears Foolishly
For a moment, someone who didn't understand the boy's mentality frowned and said casually:
"Choosing money over life is the stupidest thing to do."
"It's not that I value money over life, but... one of the tips from salvagers is to stick to the next commission until the end, unless the client chooses to give up on his own initiative."
As he spoke, the boy put his hands on his hips again, with a confident smile on his face.
"If you give up on a commission just because of suspicion or difficulty, you can't be called an excellent salvager who can work independently!"
Confident, cheerful and sunny!
The brilliance emanating from the boy made Saki dazzled for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and he admired the boy's professionalism from the bottom of his heart, which was rare in his era.
"Then you are probably a fool!"
Seriously, he had never seen such a stubborn idiot!
The unknown client had almost put "I have a problem" on his face. He was afraid that Lex would not be able to see through it, so he pointed it out. Even so, he still stubbornly continued to complete the commission. He put professional ethics before his life. Isn't this stupid?
'...wrong.'
But——after thinking about it, Saki calmed down and fell into deep thought.
Compared to the conventional Japanese male protagonists, although Rex is relatively young, he is a rare one who has clear short-term goals and long-term life aspirations, and takes action for them. He is quite mature mentally, so how could he be the kind of fool who rushes forward without caring about his life?
On the contrary, he had considered it very thoroughly. At the moment, they were all on the salvage ship, and the only Blade Master on their side was Nia. The other Blade Master, Mie Que, was older and stronger, and there was also a real existence that was hard to see through. If they really broke up on the ship, there would be countless casualties. Moreover, it was still a question whether the other salvors would be willing to give up the remaining 100,000 yuan and listen to their choice to quit. It was not a question, it was almost obvious that they would not do so. In this way, Lex, who took the initiative to strike, would become the target of public criticism. At that time, not only would he not be able to unite with other salvors to fight the enemy together, but he would be exposed in advance and the other side would find an opportunity to deal with him.
In order to avoid such a situation, it is better to pretend to be friendly first, be alert to the other party's sudden attack, wait for the opportunity to expose the conspiracy of this group of people, and then unite all the crew members to kill the other party.
Wonderful!
Although the result of doing so is that everyone is killed, that is due to insufficient information. No one except those who have read the script would have thought that a special salvage operation would encounter an enemy like the final boss. The fact that he could think of this with limited information and time is enough to prove that this boy is outstanding. He is worthy of being identified as 'S' level by the invitation letter, and is at the same level as Zhen and Nirvana!
Saki looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes first showing a hint of realization, then turning into admiration. After a brief sigh, he took half a step forward, patted the shoulder of the young man who was a little shorter than Nia, his face full of admiration.
"Excellent, you are worthy of it. Work hard. If you have any questions, come to me for consultation."
"Eh? Yeah, okay...thank you~"
After saying that, Saki waved his hand and walked to the other end of the corridor.
Needless to say, he simply saw it and casually mentioned that it would be convenient for him to quickly get in touch with Lex when Zhen and Mie suddenly attacked, so he just needed to keep it in mind, there was no need to get any guarantees.
slip away~
Lex watched the man leave with a confused look on his face.
Is what he just said really so contagious?
Emmmmm…I don’t understand.
?渝?寒月费!!群-";8::5,"7,6.6,;3?!4?.4:"2
He was just adhering to his professional ethics and saying what the salvor uncle who taught him often said.
As for the client...he actually didn't think too much about it.
The other side has a Blade Master, a Blade, and a person. What about his own side? However, Saki has the exact same configuration of a Blade Master, a Blade, and a person.
what does this mean?
This means that even if someone fails, at least they can have a restraining effect. At worst, when the girl Blade Master is restraining the black-haired Blade Master, this group of people will rush forward and kill the masked man, and then a group of people will assist the girl in killing the black-haired Blade Master.
Very steady!
Lex didn't understand things like combat effectiveness, but he had seen conflicts between Blade Masters before. Apart from some strange powers that he didn't quite understand, most of them were like that and could be dealt with by numbers, so he wasn't panicked at all.
Taking a step back, if so many people can't defeat them... Although this situation is unlikely to happen, even if they can't defeat them, won't they run away? At that time, throw these two people onto the ancient ship and let them leave on the Uzushio. Even if they are strong as blade masters, won't they only be able to stare at the Uzushio?
Therefore, in Lex's opinion, everything is still under control...at least, the opponent's two people and one strange blade cannot cause any trouble.
All I can say is that it's a good thing that someone's current learning progress is slow and he hasn't yet learned skills like mind reading. If he knew what Lex was thinking, he would probably stuff all the remaining smoke bombs into this naughty kid's mouth and detonate them.
There has to be a limit to your confidence! Don't you want to bring dozens of people on the ship to see you off?
Of course, he didn't expect this impetuous boy to be able to do anything. Whether he was as cunning as he guessed, or just simply reckless...either way, it would be of no use. Lex didn't have the power to change the situation now.
Compared to this young man whose cheats haven't been launched yet, it's more reliable to let Nia cast more poison...
"Oh, and there's also insurance just in case..."
Before going up the stairs, Saki turned around and looked at Lex who pushed open a door on the second floor and walked in, his eyes flickering slightly.
Although Lex is also "destined" to obtain the "hack", it is better to be prepared for some things. He is also afraid of things like the Butterfly Effect. From a certain perspective, he is also worried that the Butterfly Effect will kill Lex. He won't die, but if he can't go to where he should go and meet the people he should meet, then Saki and Nia will be very uncomfortable.
Similarly, if something went wrong and his plug-in failed to go online at the critical moment, the problem would be even bigger.
"I'll just have to ask Tonya..."

Someone grinned, shook his head, walked upstairs, confirmed the schedule and went into the room. He didn't pay attention to the strange water droplets floating in the room. He just lay on the bed carelessly, turned his head and saw Nia on the other side of the bed holding the back of her head with both hands, looking at him. He immediately gave her a look.
'There is a young man in the fourth cabin on the left downstairs. Give him some buffs. If his blood is lost drastically, help stabilize his life first, but don't heal him.'

Nia nodded as if she realized something, which made Saki raise his eyebrows and look relieved.
Apparently, she got it!
"What the hell!"
Then, a soft pillow flew over and hit him in the face.
“How can I possibly understand so much information?”
"There's not enough tacit understanding."
"It's impossible to have tacit understanding no matter how hard we try!"
Nia was so angry that she sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling like going crazy.
When people give you a look, it usually means something, which can usually be expressed in a few words. It's not like Saki's, where a single look encompasses a whole set of instructions.
WDNMD, how can anyone read this? I can't understand it at all and it's impossible for anyone to understand it, asshole!
"Soleiwado Kana!"
"Um?!"
Someone grabbed the pillow that hit his face and threw it to Nia, saying:
"I remember that this is how I communicated with my family at the beginning."
"..."
Nia opened her mouth, huddled up with her pillow, and said nothing. After three rounds of thunder outside the ship, she managed to utter:
"Saki... Sensei and his family must have a very special relationship, right?"
"That's natural. We became a family because of our good relationship."
"Hmm... Mr. Saki, isn't it because we are family that the relationship is so good?"
The white tiger raised its paw and gestured, then continued:
"After all, it was your parents first, and then there was Saki-dono and your brothers and sisters, right?"
"Well... that's probably what other people say, but our situation is a little different~"
Saki lay on his side on the bed, supporting his head with his left hand and said with a smile:
"It's not impossible to talk to you if I have a chance~"
"It's hard to say now~"
"We just finished talking about the Renaissance. We still have a lot to talk about in world history~"
"Um..."
Unexpectedly, Nia, who was obviously not as interested in other history as Baihu last time and even had some resistance, nodded obediently this time with a look of anticipation on her face.
"You can start now, too. It would be nice if you could explain it in more detail."
"I agree with you on this point, Mr. Saki."
"No problem. Teaching students this kind of serious knowledge is also part of a teacher's duty. Let me think about it..."
Saki suddenly sat up straight, also sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the little student opposite him and the student backup Baihu squatting under the bed, he coughed lightly, straightened his face, and said:
