Chapter62 【Sneak Plan, Start!】
Two days later, when Li Jiu saw the land of Shell Island again, even though he had known the changes in advance, he couldn't help but be shocked.
There is a saying that system profiteers are profiteers, and the products they produce are really hard to say.
The shape of the coastline and the curvature of the natural harbor can only be described in two words: charming.
So beautiful, so perfect.
Even those who know little about maritime navigation can tell at a glance that this place is definitely a deep-water port.
The other people accompanying him were also shocked.
Some former pirate members who had been mining on Shell Island for almost a month were rubbing their eyes fiercely, wondering whether they had come to the wrong place, or maybe they hadn't woken up yet.
Why is there a port here?
Shell Island had not been occupied by anyone before because it had no natural harbor.
What's going on now? What the hell?
Soon, other people who had been to, passed by, or heard about Shell Island also exclaimed and started talking about it.
At this time, how could Li Jiu miss this opportunity to show off?
He immediately raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly with a smile: "As you can see, Shell Island now has a port, and we no longer have to worry about how to stop the ship."
Of course, he continued to maintain the principle of not explaining anything and watched the ship dock with a smile.
And the content of what he said is enough for everyone to think about.
Sophie, for example, started praying without hesitation.
Apart from the great gods, who else can do this kind of thing that changes the terrain?
The happiest people about this are actually Toller and the others. Originally, Toller had been worrying about how to defend Shell Island.
Even if Ren doesn't dare to call now, Shell Island has huge benefits, so there's no guarantee that others won't make plans.
In the absence of a port, it is difficult to defend well even if you work hard day and night. Besides, who can maintain absolute concentration at all times?
He looked for Li Jiu worriedly, but Li Jiu just said, relax, he will take care of everything.
Toller was still thinking about how to solve it, but he didn't expect it to be like this...
As expected of the young master!
After a group of people landed ashore, they began to work enthusiastically.
The main purpose is to build temporary residences and initially improve the port.
There is strength in numbers. After Li Jiu mobilized almost all the effective labor force in Innsmouth, in less than a day, the gathering place and port of Shell Island had begun to take shape.
Standing under the setting sun, watching this scene, Li Jiu felt a lot of emotion in his heart. His career and power were on the rise.
At this moment, the system's voice rang in my ears again: "Congratulations to the host for turning Shell Island into a gathering place. It already has the conditions to become a 'pier'. Please continue to work hard to make it more prosperous!"
"
Oh? Is there such an unexpected surprise?
Although Shell Island is very small, even if it is upgraded to a 'pier', it will not produce many navigation certificates, but mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is!
Li Jiu immediately went to meet with the top management of the Golden Holy Grail with great enthusiasm, mainly to discuss the construction of necessary buildings such as taverns.
We were busy until around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and then everyone dispersed one after another.
Li Jiu also returned to the Golden Holy Grail. Of course, he did not sleep. Instead, he poured himself a glass of wine and quietly waited for Jerrys' arrival.
About half an hour later, he received a message from Deep Diver Matt that a fleet was approaching, presumably it was Jerrys and the others.
However, Jerrys is not a reckless person. He came directly with his people in the middle of the night, which would most likely cause a scuffle.
He came over in a small boat by himself.
More than ten minutes later, Thorler came to report that a small boat was approaching with an unknown purpose.
After all, it had to be Thorle. He was still standing guard so late at night. Maybe he was frightened by the presence of Deep Diver Matt, and he was afraid that the enemy would also engage in midnight beheading tactics.
Li Jiu heard that Torle hardly slept these nights.
Loyal minister, this is truly loyal and capable loyal minister.
It was like Jerrys who was about to visit, a pure young man. Last time he gave up Shell Island and ran away without even resisting. Not to mention loyalty, he didn't even have professionalism!
Fortunately, I didn't pay for that money, otherwise wouldn't it be a huge loss?
Li Jiu complained, and asked Torler to let them come over. These people had to be coy for the time being, and they would wait until Tut was dealt with.
Soon, Toller picked up the people.
In addition to Jerrys, there was also a big man with a black face accompanying him. Li Jiu took one look and lost interest.
In addition to having poor talent and average strength, he is just a second-level sailor thug with almost no room for improvement. This person is also a confidant of Jeffrey's piece of shit, a foolish loyalist, so let him follow Jeffrey from now on.
However, on the surface, he still received them warmly. When the black-faced man told them passionately that the previous incident on the Sea of Innsmouth was purely a misunderstanding, he also took out Jeffrey's handwriting, and almost burst into tears,
Li Jiu felt that this guy might still have some advantages, that is, he was as shameless as Jeffrey.
Li Jiu was naturally generous and said it was okay, fully understanding, and soon received the black-faced man's "sincere" support.
As for Jerrys, this guy actually should have apologized to Li Jiu, but in the end, apart from bowing loosely to Li Jiu at the beginning, he just stood aside and watched the show, with no intention of speaking at all.
But Li Jiu looked at it with his insightful eyes and found that there were some changes in his evaluation column. One of the sentences became like this:
"...After hearing about your deeds of defeating the entire Tut coalition alone at sea, Jerrys truly recognized you in his heart. He has become disappointed with Jeffrey in recent days and seems to want to truly surrender.
You, and to do this, he can change some of his not-so-good habits."
Thank you so much, Jerrys, you'd better not come, I'm really afraid you'll stab me in the back.
For this reason, you can change some not-so-good habits, which sounds really reluctant.
Li Jiu complained, but thought that if Jerrys really had this intention and took down Tut, in order to stabilize the situation, he would not be unable to use him as a peripheral force.
After chatting for a while, Li Jiu let the two of them go back, so there was no need to alert others for the time being.
The two men also obeyed the order.
What they didn't see was that after they got into the water again, a person followed them quietly into the darkness under the moonlight.
Stealth plan begins!
