Chapter1 【The ineffable great existence is watching you】
Li Jiu was woken up by a gust of salty sea breeze.
But he obviously lives inland, how can there be sea breeze?
When he opened his eyes, he saw the boundless sea and the masts of some wooden sailboats.
He was stunned. What happened?
He obviously just had a few more drinks with his friends last night and was just hungover. Why was he at the beach as soon as he woke up?
Ten minutes later, he roughly figured out his situation.
He has traveled through time.
Yes, because of being drunk.
He traveled to this world called Monte Marino. This world is very strange. There is very little land and the ocean occupies most of the territory, so sailing is the first theme of this world.
The man Li Jiu traveled through, Inns Fogg, was the heir to a port called Innsmouth in this vast ocean world. At the same time, he was also a nobleman, Baron Fogg.
Sounds pretty good right?
In fact, the current situation is extremely bad.
First of all, the Fokker family is about to go bankrupt. The last three-masted sailboat belonging to the family sank in a storm last month. The family no longer has any funds to build or buy another ship, and the family's industry is basically exhausted.
Lost.
The reason for the loss is that the port of Innsmouth is about to change hands.
Li Jiu's luck can be said to be very bad. The time he traveled through happened to be the moment when the previous baron of the Fokker family died, the young master succeeded to the throne, the population was withering, the financial resources were scarce, and the entire family declined to the extreme.
Because the previous generation of Baron Fokker was a complete waste. When he was in charge of the port of Innsmouth, he only drank and played with women all day long. He didn't care about the family's navigation business and did not run the port. This gradually led to the entire port being slowly replaced by a
A pirate merchant named David Hazen was corrupted.
Over the course of about ten years, David Hazen slowly took control of the properties in Innsmouth that originally belonged to the Fokker family. At the same time, the ships owned by the Fokker family either sank inexplicably, were lost, or were entirely acquired by David.
It can be said that now, in name only, the port of Innsmouth still belongs to the Fokker family. Privately, everyone has begun to call it Port David.
It just so happened that the old baron died in a woman's belly recently, and the newly succeeded young Baron Fokke was only a sixteen-year-old boy, so David could already close the net.
This is also the reason why Li Jiu's predecessor died.
Yes, his predecessor died. Just last night, he was invited to the boat for a drink by a friend who usually had a good time. After drinking too much, he was thrown into the sea. Needless to say, that friend had already joined David.
Then Little Fok's body washed up on the shore, and Li Jiu walked through.
Scalp numbness.
This is simply the beginning of hell. What can he do as a social creature with nothing? Run it.
From now on, I won’t be called Fokker anymore, just live an ignoble existence.
At this moment, his mind suddenly shook, and a prompt sounded: "The host condition has been detected, and the large navigation simulator has been started."
What is this? A large navigation simulator?
Goldfinger?
Just when he was about to take a closer look at the golden finger, a voice interrupted him: "Master! Master! I finally found you. Master, are you okay? You're worried about me!"
It was a slightly old and tired voice, filled with anxiety and happiness.
Li Jiu looked up and saw a little old man over fifty wearing an old linen robe with slightly white hair running towards him.
Li Jiu, who has integrated the memory of his predecessor, knows that this person is Old John, the old butler of the Fogg family, and one of the few servants of the Fogg family. He has watched little Fogg grow up and has a lot of affection for little Fogg.
"Old John, I'm fine, don't worry." Originally, Li Jiu wanted to moisturize, but when Goldfinger came, everything seemed to have turned for the better.
"Master..." Old John quickly ran to Li Jiu, helped him up, and began to pat the sand off his body, "Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine, my swimming skills are good." Li Jiu joked.
"You don't know how to swim either..." Old John was confused.
"Stop talking, take me home quickly. I'm hungry and can't wait to eat something hot." Li Jiu said casually. What he wanted to do most now was to study Goldfinger. Everything else was trivial.
"Okay, Master, the carriage has been prepared over there." Old John carefully helped Li Jiu ashore.
Parked on the shore is a miserable-looking carriage with old horses and a dilapidated carriage that is leaking. However, this can still prove the glory of the Fogg family. In this world dominated by the ocean, most people will not buy carriages.
can not afford.
Enduring the strong musty smell, Li Jiu didn't care about it now. He got into the car and turned on the navigation simulator.
"The Great Navigation Simulator has been started. It has been detected that the host is a novice. Five free simulation opportunities are given. Subsequent simulations require navigation certificates."
Navigation certificate? What is it again? Forget it, let’s simulate it first.
"The simulation begins, and three starting talents have been randomly selected for you:
[Family Heirloom (Exquisite Level)] - Your family has a profound heritage, and you may find treasures passed down from your ancestors at home at any time.
[Unparalleled Blessings (Exquisite Level)] - You can often get good luck, but it will only be a single good luck, and you must be careful about the bad luck that may come next.
[Treasure Hunter (Excellent Level)] - You have a unique keen perception of treasures in the sea. You can often find clues to treasures that ordinary people cannot find, and you are also very discerning in the process of treasure hunting."
"After the simulation is over, you will be able to choose a talent to solidify.
Note: This is a novice period benefit. After the novice period, talent selection will no longer appear in the simulation. Please be careful to solidify your talents.
Also, for novice stage simulation, solidified talents are not included.
Talent levels are divided into ordinary, excellent, sophisticated, epic, legendary, and mythical.”
"Simulating loading..."
"On the fourteenth day of the Monsoon month (July) of the year 1637, you were worried about the decline of your family. You were worried that David Hasson would rush into the castle at any time and kill you. You drank all night in the study and stayed awake until you were about to get drunk.
When you were there, you accidentally triggered the mechanism in the study and accidentally discovered a secret room. There was a voyager's potion and a bag of Edward V gold pounds hidden in the secret room.
You drank the magic potion and were successfully promoted to become a navigator.
On the 15th, you planned to go to sea. You used the bag of gold pounds to buy a second-hand three-masted sailboat. You also successfully recruited a group of sailors at the Bell and Wine Glass Tavern, and found out the coordinates of a newly discovered island.
On the 16th, you tossed and turned in bed, anxious about going to sea for the first time, and accidentally rolled under the bed. As a result, you found a nautical chart hidden in the bed board. After analysis, you found that the chart eventually pointed to a treasure place.
You changed your destination.
On the 21st, you finally went to sea.
On the 23rd, you luckily escaped being poisoned by the ship's cook, and suppressed the sailors' riot. You took full control of your ship.
The month of heavy rain (August) is coming, and the sea is stormy, making sailing difficult.
On the third day, the ship luckily escaped from the storm, but the compass failed and you lost your way.
On the seventh day, the food and water were almost exhausted, and the atmosphere on the ship was dangerous.
On the 8th, you saw the outline of an island at dawn, and you actually arrived at your destination.
On the 9th, you and your crew began to explore the island after resting. After going through many hardships, you entered a mysterious cave. You heard a voice calling you. You kept going deeper, and then you saw...
An indescribably great existence.
She's watching you, you're dead."
WTF?
