Chapter 223 Testing
According to Chen Guanghui, this Chamber of Commerce plays a mediating role most of the time.
It will restrain malicious competition among peers, promote cooperation, and communicate with government authorities.
But the most useful thing is the power at sea. As long as you join this kind of chamber of commerce, you will get an exclusive flag. When a merchant ship encounters pirates while sailing on the sea, showing the flag can save your life.
Therefore, most of the merchants, big and small, in Linhai Town paid money and joined the Chamber of Commerce.
"Haha, Xiangxiang has reason to suspect that the so-called pirates were staged by A-Li himself.
They intercepted the cargo at sea and saved our lives, and those people were so grateful that they went to the Chamber of Commerce to give us gifts and express their gratitude.”
"Haha, no one knows me better than Xiangxiang. This is something A-Li can do."
“Last year’s competition was just a test to see if these people were vigilant.
We started sending people to the island this year.”
Soon, Song An Ning came to this conclusion. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little excited. Although she was a rookie now, she was excited to confront Ali so openly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!!
Master, don't be afraid. Go forward bravely. Xiangxiang is here and will not let anything happen to you, Ayuan, Ayue, and the others."
"Tsk, you're going to pay a high price for weapons? I only have so much money, and I can only buy so much."
Song An Ning felt a little melancholy. Even though she had more than 50,000 taels of silver in her account now, with this money-eating system, as long as she bought things across levels, she would be left with nothing after a few purchases.
“Hahaha, this is the little turtle’s buttocks, rules!
Xiangxiang has no other options, but the master can provide a loan..."
"..."
"Living King of Hell!"
Is it easy for her to make some money? She has to take out loans. What kind of miserable life is this?
Although she said this to Xiangxiang, she knew in her heart that if she could save so many lives, she would have nothing to fear from the loan.
Because she knew what was on the island. These people paid money and came happily to participate in the fishing competition. Their families were waiting for them to go home and share with their families what they heard today and the joy of catching fish. But what was waiting for them?
She was not a saint, nor did she want to have anything to do with the court. No matter where she was, she wanted to do what she liked in the small village and make her family live a better life.
But now, things have happened to me, and there are so many innocent people on the boat. Since I have encountered this, I will take care of it and do my best.
"Xiangxiang, maximize the system screen, open the map, and see how far our ship is from the island."
"Ding, we're out now. We're only a few miles away from the island. The strange thing is, we're not getting any closer. It seems like we're just going in circles."
"Haha. Let's just give it a try. Let's go out and take a look..."
Just after Song An Ning finished saying this to Xiang Xiang, the sound of gongs rang out again, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce shouted that the competition had begun.
When Song Anning and the others went out, many people had already started casting fishing rods.
After walking such a long way without any problems, and with a large island not far away, everyone felt that they were finally safe and had long since put their previous worries behind them.
Several ships were not far away. When Song Anning walked to the deck, he could see a small boat not far away, sailing very slowly.
"Master, let's get out of the water. I think everything is fine."
Song An Ning nodded and asked Xiangxiang to keep an eye on the movements of those people at all times. Then he walked to the deck railing to hang the bait and cast the rod.
The deck area is limited, and with so many family members on board, it seems particularly crowded.
The distance between each person is not too far, so there is no need to run to see the fun like in the morning.
"Little girl, deep-sea fishing is quite different from beach fishing. I hope your good luck this morning will last."
"Thank you, but I don't rely on luck, I rely on strength."
"Hahaha, then let everyone see your strength."
Song Anning raised her eyebrows and asked Xiangxiang to increase the chance of catching fish with her and Chen Guanghui's fishing rods to 90%.
I didn't want to be too prominent, but they didn't follow the rules of martial ethics. At this time, the small wooden box containing ambergris was placed in a large box, and both were locked.
In fact, the things inside had already been put into her backpack. Seeing how carefully they held the box, she couldn't help laughing.
Not long after the man finished speaking, Song Anning's fishing rod moved.
In deep-sea fishing, you usually encounter big fish, and since they are on a boat, it is a bit difficult to pull them up, so you can only rely on people from the Chamber of Commerce to jump onto the boat to help.
What's more, the people on the boat were standing so closely together that if two people who were close to each other caught fish at the same time, it would be particularly easy for them to get entangled.
These are all points that need attention. Even with the help of the system, Song An Ning cannot take it lightly.
Following Xiangxiang's instructions, she methodically reeled in the fish. When she pulled the fish up, everyone around her stretched their necks to watch carefully.
"Hey! It's a sea wolf. It looks like it weighs more than ten pounds. It's not worth much."
"It's quick to catch fish, but it's not worth much, hahahaha..."
When people saw the fish, some felt gloating, some were envious and some were jealous. In fact, this is human nature. People cannot stand others being better than themselves.
I always have to pick something out to prove that excellent people are not that excellent and that I am not much different from others.
"Hahaha, don't be impatient, let's catch a small one first to satisfy our craving."
Song Anning laughed and looked up at the island not far away. No wonder Ali used this place as his base camp. The area was not small and the island was rich in vegetation. It looked like a good place indeed.
At this time, Chen Guanghui also caught a fish. This was his first time to catch a fish in the deep sea, so he was still a little nervous.
"Calm down and think about what I said this morning. It's just a fish."
"Don't worry, Master. I won't embarrass you."
Chen Guanghui calmed himself down. In fact, the fish underwater didn't pull very hard. He was just too excited, so he didn't pull it up for a long time.
"Sardine, hahahaha, a sardine.
Mr. Chen, your luck is really bad."
As we all know, sardines are not big in size. The one caught by Chen Guanghui is considered big, but it only weighs a little over one kilogram.
He ignored the teasing of the people around him, but picked up the fish and said solemnly to Song An Ning: "Master, this is the first fish I caught in the deep sea."
"Well done! That's a good start. Let's keep going! Catch the big fish!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Yao, who was standing behind Chen Guanghui, gave Song An Ning a grateful smile. She now finally understood why her husband, a thirty-year-old man, wanted to find a young girl to be his master.
They'd been married for ten years, so how could they not know Chen Guanghui's weaknesses? He had trouble controlling his emotions, and he'd lose his composure every time he encountered the slightest problem.
But Song An Ning is different. This girl is mature and calm far beyond her age.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." What my husband learned from this girl is more than just fishing.
The teasing sounds from the side had not yet ended when everyone saw Song An Ning take out the fishing line cutter and cut the sardines caught by Chen Guanghui into two.
"What is this for?"
"Master, why are you..."
