Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 56 Night Flight
Chen Qi walked to the bedside, took the "Guide to the Use of Marine Beasts" in his hand, and began to read it.

Will-o'-the-wisp and bullet squid are dangerous small marine mammals that often travel in groups. Once targeted by these fish, you will suffer a barrage of attacks.

Although dangerous, they are much more valuable than moonfish.

Seeing that Chen Qi was considering going out to sea at night, Peilu reminded him:
"If you want to fish at night with a fleet, never go on those gang boats, especially the Black Rabbit Gang, the Wild Dog Gang, and the Axe Gang who like to wear suits."

Although their fees are low, they also have maids on board who will touch your thighs and compliment your handsomeness!
But when you get ashore, the fees for tea, weapons, protection, and maid service are all places where they try to rip you off.

Therefore, it is essential to choose a legitimate fishing boat, which will cost approximately 50,000 shell coins.

As she spoke, Peroo winked at the cunning maids who were trying to rip people off.

"hiss……"

This sudden attack caused Chen Qi to furrow his brows like an old man on the subway.

If Perlu doesn't speak, she looks quite pretty.

But given Miss Peru's chaotic reputation in Moonstone City, her flirtatious glance could terrify many people, sending them tumbling and scrambling three hundred miles away from Moonstone City.

Then she continued:

"By the way, when going out to sea at night, be sure to prepare boat lights and kerosene lamps. Recently, there have been six tragedies caused by people turning off their boat lights in an attempt to save money on kerosene."

"Yes, don't worry, the lights on my little boat are very expensive."

Chen Qi smiled confidently.

To ensure his safety at night, he had the foresight to have the boat repairman in Maro town install a waterproof and impact-resistant large boat light on his small boat!
Aside from the steam-powered engine, the ship's lights were undoubtedly the most expensive accessory on his ship.

"Is it expensive?"

Peroo looked up and glanced at his houseboat with the eyes of a wealthy woman, a hint of confusion in her expression.

"It's already too expensive for me..." Chen Qi closed the book helplessly and asked his second question:

"By the way, Miss Reporter, what do you know about the Black Rabbit Gang?"

"What's wrong? Are you being targeted by a rabbit?"

"Pelle asked."

Gangs are a major feature of the commoner district of Moonstone City.

Gangs are a supplement to the order of Moonstone City. As the Rift Tide descends, the chaos intensifies, and gangs will only increase in number and become more and more arrogant.

"That's it."

Chen Qi replied.

Undoubtedly, his trip to the hunting grounds has already attracted the attention of the Black Rabbit Gang.

Not to mention, according to his previous information, the Black Whale Gang and the Black Rabbit Gang have some connections.

Peilu frowned:
"You've been targeted? Then you'd better be careful. According to my informant, recently, many gangs in Moonstone City have started to make contact with pirate groups."

The Black Rabbit Gang has a close relationship with the Black Whale Gang, the leader of the four pirate emperors.

So you'd better be careful; rabbits don't care about their reputation before they leave their burrows.

Peilu ate a peanut.

The Black Whale Gang is growing bigger and bigger.

Chen Qi rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Gangs are essentially pirates on land, so it's not surprising that they would defect to pirates.

After the tide arrives, the probability of the crack appearing in the ocean is much greater than the probability of it appearing on land.

Joining the pirates under these circumstances was a remarkably farsighted choice.

The Black Rabbit Gang is nothing to fear, but even the strongest can't fight against a hundred. We need to be careful when we're operating in Moonstone City... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Peilu shook her head; she quite liked the owner's cooking.

She comforted him:

"But don't worry too much. Gangs are just rats in the city, especially in ports under naval control. They would never dare to cause trouble."

When I have time, I'll take some time to interview the Black Rabbit Gang and tell them to behave themselves!

An interview? Are you sure this isn't a threat? Chen Qi was slightly startled. The other party truly lived up to his reputation as the most arrogant reporter in Moonstone City.

Peilu stood up and, somewhat helplessly, put the manuscript paper into her bag:
"What a pity, boss, I'm too busy today and don't have time to eat your cooking. Also, thank you for the information."

"Goodbye, and have a safe trip."

Chen Qi waved goodbye to the other person.

Before leaving, Perlu clenched her fists and encouraged herself:

"By the way, boss, you need to work harder to make money!"
Your restaurant is really too shabby and small. If possible, it would be best to have a cabinet full of fine wines, a mahogany table, and ideally, a musician to play music to add an artistic atmosphere.

Moreover, it would be even better if some extraordinary ingredients could be added.

I hope you become a five-star chef soon!

Pelle had been wanting to invite her friends over for a meal, but unfortunately, the little houseboat was just too small.

If the ship's interior decoration were a little better, it would be perfect.

"..."

"Easy for you to say..." Chen Qi clapped his hands and glanced at his little houseboat.

If old Pele hadn't been in a hurry to sell the ship, he wouldn't even have this ship now.

To accommodate a large wine cabinet while maintaining the ship's speed, it would be impossible without ten million cowries.

Moreover, becoming a five-star chef requires passing the chef alliance's assessment, which is an extremely difficult process.

After Peilu left, Chenqi sat on the boat and began to make simple plans for the rest of the trip.

Monster Night is the night after tomorrow.

He'll take some time tomorrow to go to the market in Moonstone City and sell what he got from the hunting grounds.

The remaining time was used to practice breathing techniques and body-strengthening methods, as well as to train the deep-sea spirits. ...

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

At Moonstone City Port, the afterglow of the setting sun spills onto the shimmering sea.

Chen Qi sat on the small houseboat, counting his money.

These past few days have been very ordinary. Apart from the occasional probing by members of the Black Rabbit Gang, he hasn't encountered any trouble.

He spent some time selling the spices he obtained from the rift, as well as the small mechanical armor from the Black Rabbit Gang.

Ghost Pepper sold for 100,000 coins, while the Black Rabbit Gang's small steam armor sold for 270,000 coins due to damage to its neural connection system.

Including the sale of other items and other expenses, he now has a total of 400,000 shell coins.

For someone who has just started out at sea, 400,000 shells is already a considerable sum of money.

For non-superhumans, as long as they don't frequent brothels and have no family to support, 400,000 yuan is enough to last them a long time.

But for extraordinary individuals, this amount of money is still too little.

Chen Qi counted the money and carefully put it into his backpack card.

Outside the houseboat, the sailors' boisterous voices could be heard.

"We're getting ready to set sail. Tell the sailors to get ready!"

"Also, quickly find someone to pay respects to the five esteemed second-tier hunters. The power of the cannons is limited. If we don't want to be attacked by sea monsters, we still need to rely on them."

"This operation is extremely dangerous. We remind the fishing boats that have paid to follow the boats carefully to avoid losing them."

"Bless, bless, Goddess, please bless me."

The flames of day are gradually dying out, and night is about to envelop this sea.

Chen Qi opened the boat window and looked out.

At this moment, next to his small houseboat, there were five large fishing boats equipped with cannons, powerful steam engines, and large trawls.

And ten medium-sized vessels.

In addition, there were more than twenty other personal vessels like his.

"There are so many people..."

Chen Qi sighed.

With the arrival of the crevice tide, the number of people going out to sea from Maro Town has noticeably decreased.

But Moonstone City shows absolutely no signs of decline!

Going out to sea in a small boat at night is a very dangerous thing.

However, for many fishermen with meager savings, not going out to sea means not being able to afford food, and their entire families suffer as a result.

"Life is not easy."

After getting ready in the morning, I came out of the houseboat, leaned against the wall, enjoyed the sea breeze, and listened to the noisy sounds of people.

Most of the fishermen on the small boat had their heads down; clearly, they were filled with fear about this voyage.

On the large ship next to him, the captain and first mate's voices were particularly loud.

"Wow, there are so many people going out to sea today! Come to think of it, why are there so many small boats? This is nighttime under the crevice tide! They really have no fear of death!"

"Afraid of death? Those are moonfish, one moonfish is worth ten fresh big fish! Aren't you going to support your wife and kids?"

Don't you even consider how expensive it is to get into an extraordinary school and cultivate extraordinary talents?

As they spoke, the two men on the boat lowered their heads and glanced at Chen Qi.

Among them, the burly-looking first mate, upon seeing the flag on the Chenqi ship, shouted:

"Young man, you must be a chef. With your small boat, you probably won't even be able to catch a single moonfish before you're lost at sea!"

Eighty thousand cowrie shells! Follow behind our ship, protected by our hunters! They're all on the register!

"No, I don't have any money!"

Chen Qi loudly refused.

His target was the herd of sea monsters, and he had no interest in following the large ship to scavenge their leftovers.

The first mate laughed heartily:

"No money? Then forget it. But I have to remind you, the boats around you belong to gangs. They're not like us, who follow the law."

Chen Qi turned his head to the side and saw a thin man staring intently at him from inside a small boat's house. The man made no attempt to hide his malice.

The opponent's spiritual energy field is not weak, reaching the second level.

He is a member of the Black Rabbit Gang.

"After watching for so many days, finally someone with some skill has appeared..."

Chen Qi wasn't too worried. He went straight into the houseboat, lit the boat lights, and started the engine.

With the Deep Sea Sprite, he can even take down some large ships with weak defenses in naval battles.

If they dare to attack, we will make sure they never return!
In the sky, it was as if a giant hand had suddenly extinguished the flames, extinguishing the fire of day and plunging the entire world into darkness.

Night has fallen.

Rumble!
The lighthouse lit up, and the ships began to start up their vessels and turn on their lights.

"Go to sea!"

The sailors on the large ship shouted!

As the large ships set sail ahead, a group of small boats lit their lights and followed closely behind, like lanterns floating on the sea, heading towards the dark ocean.
