Chapter 3000: New Crew Member – Lin Qi ()

Moonlight poured down from the hole above, reflecting clear “tracks” on the dust floating in the air.

In the dust and moonlight, Lin Qi’s expression became more and more embarrassed.

“Pang Rang!”

One of the pirates dropped his glass in shock.

As if receiving some signal, the whole room suddenly became lively.

“Big sister! A strange person fell from the sky!”

“Why are you yelling so loudly? Do I look like a blind person?!”

“Hey, I just wanted to inform the big sister. After all, isn’t the atmosphere like this according to the storyline?”

“Asshole! I told you to stop looking at those crap!”

“Next time we dock, I won’t let you buy that useless book!”

“You can’t do this, big sister! If it weren’t for that, Vadasi…”

“roll!”

“Hahaha, Bessie, you are such a coward. Instead of thinking about your stories, you should think about how to get out of this sea.”

“We’ve been wandering around in this crappy place for more than ten days!”

“Hey, why worry about that crap? Anyway, Big Sister will definitely get us out, so let’s eat and drink!”

As he spoke, the pirate held the wine glass and raised it upwards, and the wine spilled from the glass with his movement.

“Oh——!”×N

This caused a large number of pirates to raise their glasses in approval.

“Huh? It’s all my fault? How dare you say such things? You guys have no ambition at all!”

“I’m not saying anything, Big Sister, we’ve all become pirates, so how can we still have the ambition to make progress?”

“Well said! Bombey, from tomorrow on you will be cleaning the decks. When you find the motivation to make progress, you can be reinstated!”

“Ah? No! Big Sister——”

Bombey wailed, causing the other pirates to slam their tables and laugh.

“Hahahaha…”×N

“…Speaking of which, isn’t the most important thing right now this guy who suddenly appeared?”

One of the pirates suddenly found the blind spot.

“Why did everyone suddenly go astray?”

Lin Qi, who was busy cleaning up the wood chips and dust on the table because no one paid attention to him, suddenly looked up after hearing this.

Huh? It’s finally me?

Lin Qi blinked.

“Oh! Oh, I actually forgot. Who changed the subject?”

“Get lost! Don’t even think about talking nonsense anymore!”

“I see, it can actually fall from the sky, so it must be someone with bad intentions, probably an enemy!”

One pirate said quite seriously.

Many pirates nearby nodded in agreement after hearing this.

“Damn it, how can I accomplish anything great with a bunch of idiots like you?”

“Can’t you use your brains, which are not much bigger than a mouse, to think carefully?”

“How can an enemy be so clear and stupid?”

Another pirate covered his head, looking like he was about to faint from anger.

“Haha… for a moment I didn’t know whether to say you were praising me or insulting me…”

Lin Qi’s mouth twitched.

“Stop! I’m getting annoyed listening to you guys arguing. I don’t think this guy is a bad person. Why don’t you bring him up here and have a chat?”

Seeing all the chatter, Drake rubbed his temples with a headache and quickly shouted to stop.

“Yes! Big Sister still has a solution!”

A group of pirates hurriedly brought Lin Qi to Drake.

——The Crimson King——

Drake, adventurer and privateer, was the first person to sail around the world alive.

After traveling around the world, she was named vice admiral by the Queen of England at the time. During her service, she destroyed the powerful Spanish Invincible Armada, making her a model of a pirate turning over a new leaf.

Of course, in canonical history she was a male, but in this moon world, Jill was unable to protect herself and became a female.

But it doesn’t matter. Everyone who knows her thinks she is a female pirate who is more manly than men.

And the Drake who now appeared in front of Lin Qi was not a servant, but a living human being, just like Nero.

I just can’t remember which period Lin Qi was from.

Maybe it was Drake when he was still a privateer captain?

After listening to Lin Qi’s story, Drake nodded in understanding.

“I see… It’s not that I don’t believe you, but isn’t this development a little too weird?”

Drake spread his hands, feeling quite outrageous.

“A man suddenly came running over from the sky and said, “I am a man from the future. I came here to save the world. The storybooks that Bessie read didn’t seem to have this kind of plot, right?”

“It’s true… But Big Sister, even if there was, I wouldn’t believe it. If I hadn’t seen with my own eyes that someone caught a bullet with his head and was still alive and kicking, I wouldn’t believe it even if you held my head and told me so.”

“Wait a minute! If no one else has written this kind of plot, will my book be a big hit?!”

A brilliant idea suddenly popped into Bessie’s head.

“Be good and stop daydreaming. If you keep doing that I’ll send you to mop the deck too.”

Drake spoke gently, words that made Bessie shudder.

“Big Sister is right! Bessie, you’d better stop daydreaming if you have to find someone to translate just to read a few storybooks. Hahahaha…”

The good brothers who liked to watch the fun immediately chose to add insult to injury.

Heartbroken Bessie went to a corner and sulked.

“At worst, I can tell my ideas to someone who can write, and then ask him to share some of the money with me…”

He was still mumbling to himself as he walked away.

This caused another round of laughter from those who heard him.

“■! We’ve been led astray again!”

Drake, who was also laughing, suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and his face was full of regret.

Next to him, Lin Qi, who was ignored again, had a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Drake was keenly aware of Lin Qi’s gaze and immediately smiled awkwardly:

“Ahaha, don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. Pirates are like that, they’re more unruly and unrestrained. Of course, I still trust you!”

Drake did not lie to Lin Qi. She felt that Lin Qi was pleasing to the eye as soon as she met him, and her initial favorable impression of him was not low.

“It’s just… don’t you think this is a bit strange? We have to rely on pirates to save the world?”

Drake scratched his head, with an expression that said “Can you understand the absurdity of this?”

“It’s really strange, otherwise I wouldn’t be here alone.”

Lin Qi said expressionlessly.

Drake, who felt that Lin Qi’s resentment was about to break through the sky, coughed twice and stopped joking:

“Ahem, alright, alright, I’m not kidding. It’s just about saving the world, right? For us, this is also an adventure we’ve never experienced before—right, guys?”

Drake’s last words were addressed to all the pirates present.

“That’s right!”

“Hahaha, saving the world depends on pirates? This is so interesting! Don’t forget to take me with you when you set sail, big sister!”

“Ohhh! I just beat up a seal-like guy a while ago, and then he took off in a storm, and now he has to save the world again, Wuhu! I’m about to raise the flag just thinking about it!”

“Yeah! It’s a new adventure!”

……

Under the dim light, all the pirates cheered in unison, and not a single one flinched.

Standing next to Drake, Lin Qi was somewhat envious of their mental state.

Drake grinned and said, realizing that his younger brother was quite capable:

“Very good! This is exactly what we want. Since no one objects, the next goal is to save the world!”

“Of course, being happy is the most important thing! Even if it means saving the world, you have to be happy!”

“Ohhhh!!”×N

In response to Drake’s words, the pirates cheered loudly.

It seems that in their eyes, saving the world is just an ordinary adventure.

Being in such an atmosphere, Lin Qi felt a little uncomfortable and couldn’t help but ask Drake:

“What now? What to do now?”

Drake repeated Lin Qi’s words and looked at Lin Qi as if he was a weirdo.

Then he grinned and said as a matter of course:

“Now? Of course – have a party!”

“It’s night time now! We are on land, and I have this Holy Grail that can conjure up food at will. This is a good time to hold a party!”

There can’t be anyone who is still thinking of taking action at this time, right?

Lin Qi remained silent.

If this were land, he would really choose to act at night…

As for why Drake knew about the Holy Grail?

Of course, that was what Lin Qi told her.

“…Isn’t this a bit too unfair?”

Drake suddenly stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

“Unfair…?”

Lin Qi couldn’t quite keep up with Drake’s train of thought.

“Think about it, saving the world has nothing to do with us. It’s not fair that we only have this idea because of you, young man?”

Drake winked at Lin Qi.

“…I have nothing on me except a few knives…”

Lin Qi subconsciously touched his pocket and found only a few black keys in it.

“Hey, we’re all about saving the world, who cares about that little bit of money?”

Drake smiled and hugged Lin Qi, dragging him in front of all the pirates.

Although Lin Qi had no idea about a womanizer like Drake, Drake’s huge capital still made Lin Qi feel a little uncomfortable.

I couldn’t stop wanting to tilt my head to the side.

Drake put his hand on Lin Qi’s head without any concern.

He smiled and looked at the younger brother below and said:
