Chapter 176 Silent Feast

Chapter 176 "Silent Feast"

"drink wine!"

"Go one!"

"You kid, don't run away. There's no point in hiding under the table!"

"Hahaha, here comes the big dish!"

Chen Anxing held up a huge tray with one arm, which contained steaming delicious food. All the previous ship's chefs were following him like apprentices. This chef, who had an oriental face like the captain, conquered everyone's attention. This is incredible for taste buds, including picky cooks.

The diameter of the tray was four to five meters. The lid on it was opened, and a large amount of water vapor obscured the view. The next moment, a breeze blew, the mist dispersed, and the dazzling golden light blinded people.

"What is this? It's so dazzling!"

“Food that glows!”

"Look at your virtues. Our head chef is a legendary chef. Why does the food he makes shine?"

"That's the truth. I also admit that we are short-sighted, but can you stop drooling? Damn it, it dripped on my leg, you piece of shit!"

The banquet of thousands of people directly filled the entire deck of the Xuanzang Black Whale. The unnamed island not far away was also brightly lit. The gold coins and gems on the ground were shining with five colors of light, but no one looked down. In their eyes, With only the wine in hand, the people at the table are drinking and drinking, and everyone is enjoying themselves!

Meanwhile, the area where the core staff gathers.

"Boss, drink!"

"If I don't drink you down today, I will change your last name!"

Tina's little face was extremely rosy, and her whole body exuded a strong smell of alcohol. Those who knew she was drinking, but those who didn't knew thought she drank alcohol directly.

"Haha, this is what you said. It's just right. There's no need to think about changing anything. From now on, you will have my last name!"

"Who is afraid of whom? I really thought you were still the same person on the bed!"

This girl is also drunk. Without deliberately dispersing the alcohol, the legend is just like that. What's more, what she drinks is the aged puree taken from the Thousand Cups Treasure Box. It is 83 degrees. I ask you if you are afraid?

"Hey hey, hey~"

"Why does this taste tasteless~"

"Hiccup!~"

Sisonia, who has pure Amazon blood, did not run away. Her upper body was pressed on the table, arching into a thrilling arc. Of course, except for the girls who would glance at her unintentionally, everyone else knew to take care of their eyes.

"Sister, why did you drink so much today? Are you worried?"

Sharon's four pairs of arms each perform their own duties. They eat, drink and play without interfering with each other. It can only be said to be a racial advantage.

"It's not me. You can return to legend soon. Have you thought about the future?"

Aurea said vaguely, but Miss Naga was also a thoughtful person. Seeing that her "good sister" didn't want to say more, she stopped asking questions. There was only one person who could make her so worried and troubled.

Looking at Qiao Yang, who was shirtless and having a fierce drinking contest with Tina, he sighed to himself and considered whether to get involved tonight. She thought that her sister, who was in the same camp as her, would be the first to betray the class, so what did she have to worry about.

On the surface, everyone is called Captain Qiao Yang, but in fact, some of the crew members have to be called masters. They are essentially property, not members. The seemingly alienating title actually gives enough respect. Under such influence, which girl will not What about Huaichun?

"Maybe I should continue my journey as a weapons master. As you know, I'm not very interested in magic."

In fact, Sharon's talent as a spellcaster far exceeds that of a combatant, but I don't know what kind of motivation Sharon has to find her own style on a path that is not particularly suitable.

"You don't have to stick to experience. If you want to become an immortal, you must find your own way."

"I always believe this, the legend is just the beginning."

"As long as you have confidence, come and have a drink with me."

This banquet was destined to be an alcoholic carnival. Even Nancy, who usually did not drink alcohol, drank a lot. Reina saw that the teacher was not in a good mood, sighed helplessly, and drank together.

That's right, Reina recognized Nancy as her teacher. If she wasn't sure that he was only in love with firearms, this little dirty girl would have doubted whether Nancy liked men. Moreover, this man was the captain, with the sorrow between his eyebrows and his coldness. His temperament, no one can stop thinking about it.

Only speaking novels can kill people. As a gunman, Reina prefers to read widely circulated text novels in her free time, such as "The Cold Butler and the Domineering Family Master", "The Down-and-out Boy and His Loyal Servant", etc. Wait, these words with a bit of artistic content are all her favorites.

Although now I have opened a trumpet and started over again, these memories have been preserved intact, so some of the plots overlap with reality.

"What bad things are you thinking?"

Nan Xi suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned around to find that his student was caught in an indescribable fantasy.

"Ahem, I didn't... thought of anything, teacher, cheers!"

The moon was at the top of the sky, everyone was drunk, and the classic show "Three Yang Kaitai" was indispensable. Olivier held the wine barrel and drank tons and tons of it. Riddle, who was also a gunner, felt his teeth go weak just watching. I feel like my stomach is starting to twitch, no, you fucking care about your buddy's life and death.

They boarded the ship one after another and unexpectedly became good friends, but if you think about it carefully, it is logical. They have similar interests, so it may be strange that they have a bad relationship after fighting side by side for a long time.

"Hiccup!~~"

The old and new crew members looked at Olivier who was lying on the ground and belched loudly and cheered happily. Then countless pairs of eyes looked at Riddle. The weather was not hot, but he was already sweating. There was a big bucket half as tall as a man under his feet. He looked at his friend lying on the ground. He closed his eyes and picked it up to open it!

"Okay, the boss is so awesome!"

"Whose general is this? So brave!"

Unlike the easy-going and honest man, his personality is very similar to Marquis. He is calm and calm. Naturally, he was caught by the busy first mate. In addition to being responsible for the dispatch of the gunners, he will also participate in the ship's work. In the team planning, although he has only been here for a short time, he is still a real and powerful figure.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the two gunners all stood up. Riddle resisted the turmoil in his stomach, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and fell to the ground to vomit. He really couldn't play with this thing.

"Grandma, our heads are all dry, can we brothers be embarrassed?"

"cannot!"

Qisheng's shouts rang out, and the group of booers were also very heroic. They picked up the wine barrel and started working. For a while, the sounds of gulping down the wine were heard one after another. As for the result, it is not important anymore, is it?

Anyway, they were lying on the floor, and there was a sour and sour smell in the air, which meant that their strength was not low, otherwise they would have been poisoned by alcohol or their bellies would be burst.

Riddle sobered up a lot after vomiting. He glanced around and didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to say something serious:

"Humph, it's your own fault."

He even scolded himself. Olivier didn't know when he got up. He patted his friend with his big hand like a leaf fan and said with a hearty smile:

"You treat them as brothers, and they will treat you as brothers, just like the captain treats us."

"You're so talkative, do you need to say it?"

Legends still have character, and speaking hard is the most basic thing. Looking at Riddle who was sending the brothers back to the bedroom one by one, Honest Man laughed "Gee, gee", and then joined in.

On the other side, Ivan clinked glasses with his brother and drank the wine in one gulp.

"I remember you hated this thing so much that you even had a big fight with your father about it."

Nasreen looked at his brother who had changed so much, and he didn't know what it was like. He thought that he was alone in the world, and that the only value of the rest of his life was to complete Qiao Yang's great cause, but the great captain divided his luck. Give him a little bit to let him feel what family affection is again.

"You've changed a lot, haven't you? Why do you say me? At least I've become what I wanted to be. This is already very lucky, isn't it?"

"Haha, that's right. Here's to the great captain!"

"To the great captain!"

"Dang~"

The two brothers clinked glasses again, and the crisp echoes surrounded them, spreading far, far away, and everything was beyond words.

Qiao Yang, who drank too much, liked to be mean. He looked at Adfennie's wagging tail, grabbed it, and pulled it hard a few times.

"Ah! I'll bite you to death!"

Her and Tina's positions are actually the same. They are both captain's guards. The wolf girl has a naturally high affinity for Qiao Yang. Of course, this affection deteriorates quickly, but a certain "wood" does not mention it. , she was too embarrassed to say it, so she just got along with him like this.

Adelphini is not in a hurry. The lifespan of a legendary strong man is long, and there is no need to rush for many things. Moreover, after getting along for a long time, she can also see that her captain is a top-notch pervert. She can't do Ori Ya's aggressive attack was more suitable for her to let nature take its course.

And after the bloodline evolved, some characteristics from the ancestral bloodline began to appear. They were usually hidden, but under the stimulation of alcohol, she was too lazy to bother, so it was not impossible to just leave them like this.

However, no matter how much she thought about it, she could not have guessed that there would be a sixth child. His tail was connected to his spine and was covered with rich sensitive nerves. This squeeze could kill him.

At this time, Adelphini is like a puppy with fried hair, saying that she will bite you to death, but her "vital gate" is caught by others, let alone resisting, it is more like an animal in heat, and her whimpering is simply It's just seducing people into committing a crime.

"Hey, it seems I can only drink so much today, elbow, come into the house with me!"

The girls on the table covered their faces, they really couldn't see it. Adelphini felt weak and weak all over after being lifted up. She was both looking forward to and nervous about what was going to happen next. Could it be that she was about to be fucked by the captain.

"No, I don't agree, even if it's my turn to wait in line!"

Lillian, who was also drunk, stepped in. Basque and Potugal looked at each other, and then shook their heads together. Not to mention that this embarrassing guy was a high-level devil, they didn't recognize it.

According to the plan, Potugal should have already set off, but it has caught up. The layout of the Nine Hells is not bad at this day, so it should be considered as a strong move. After all, no matter how pioneering and enterprising, it can only rely on itself to develop. It's hard to say what it will look like.

Moreover, Potugal even sold his life to him. Eat a good meal before leaving. The legendary chef Chen Angxing is not only proficient in the dishes that humans like. Basically, as long as it is a dish, he can make it to suit the taste of different races. Even if It's the devil and the demons who have figured it out.

In fact, it can be seen from this point that Qiao Yang is really not a qualified high-ranking person. Whether it is favor or power, he cannot be as wanton and natural as those who have been in high positions for a long time.

Those people believe in two sentences: one is that kindness should be light and then thick. Those who are thick first and then thin will make people forget their benefits.

Don't be too casual in giving favors, and don't give too much at the beginning. When you have nothing good to give in the future, your subordinates will forget how good you were.

The second is that authority should be strict but lenient. Those who are lenient first and then strict will be resented by people for their harshness.

The same goes for dignity. You should set strict rules at the beginning. Otherwise, if the rules change from loose to strict, your subordinates will think that your methods are cruel.

Once the hole is opened, it is difficult to close it. When the people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team. The way of extravagance and frugality is nothing more than this.

Of course, these two sentences were pure farts to Qiao Yang, and he didn't care at all.

The ruthless leader may gain temporary stability, but there is an old saying that those who only seek for the moment cannot seek for the whole life. There is no harm in taking a longer-term view. The boss does not want to think about benefits for his younger brothers, but only thinks about how to squeeze out others. The greatest value, no matter how inappropriate it is for such a superior person!

"Hahaha, you can come too, you can come~"

"Hiccup~"

Qiao Yang's brain was completely anesthetized by alcohol, and the girls in front of him seemed to have double images. One moment it was Adfannie, and the next moment it was Tina, then Sisonia, Lillian, and Oria. , and even the image of Fu appeared one after another, vivid, round and jade-like. In the haze, he seemed to be helped back to the captain's cabin, and then there was the sound of undressing.

Realizing that something was wrong, he raised his breath and dispersed the alcohol flowing in his blood. His unfocused eyes instantly came back to focus and stared at the girls who were about to sleep in their clothes. The charming atmosphere spread in the small captain's cabin.

He did not let this atmosphere last too long and took the initiative to say:

"The banquet is not over yet. It doesn't matter if we come back first. Tina, let's start the second round!"

"Humph, the result won't change after a few more rounds."

The two of them left the captain's cabin one after another while talking, and the remaining women noticed that Qiao Yang seemed to have really regained consciousness, so there were sighs with different meanings at the scene, some were soothing, and they were happy that Qiao Yang was back to normal. Some are extremely disappointed, and here they criticize Lillian.

Time slowly came to the second half of the night. Qiao Yang had a drink with his crew members when he had nothing to do. However, unlike before, with his metabolic system running wildly, he transformed into a god of wine who could not get drunk after a thousand cups. No one refuses.

The lively atmosphere was still there. When the last lap was completed, he sat back in the main seat. The girls had already returned, and the only people present were the men who were still unfinished.

There were clinking glasses, shouting, and the hot-blooded guys held a wrestling match, which was extremely lively.

The old and new crew members got to know each other a lot after a night of wild celebrations. Since there are many races on the ship, the people in Black Candle are used to this, so there will be no discrimination issues.

Even a relatively weak kobold can drink side by side with a powerful demon. Under Qiao Yang's influence, the cohesion of the fleet is terrifying.

For die-hard crew members, they are happy when the boss is happy, and vice versa. They share joys and sorrows and work together. There are very few captains who can achieve this, which is almost a miracle.

"Captain, you should rest early."

Marquis drank the last drop of wine in the glass and reminded him seemingly unintentionally.

"Oh, okay, I'll drink the last drink and then leave."

The stunned Qiao Yang raised his glass and replied casually, and then fell silent again. At some point, the liquid in his glass changed from high-altitude wine to juice. As long as he didn't want to get drunk, juice was still delicious.

The banquet was not completely over until a flash of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, leaving only a mess on the ground and Qiao Yang who refused to go back.

Today was a cloudy day, and the scattered cumulonimbus clouds came back, seemingly with unwillingness and resentment. As soon as Qiao Yang saw it, it poured down rain, washing away the dust and smoke, and washing away his worries.

The cold rain hitting his body made his chaotic thoughts much clearer.

Open the information panel, which records the impact of last night's banquet.

"You led a large-scale banquet. Your crew members are more convinced of you (loyalty cannot be increased) and are full of expectations for future adventures (leadership +10, energy increased by 20%)."

The banquet is a very important part after each adventure. It can enhance the loyalty of the men, relax the tense spirit, and enhance the cohesion. In short, there are many benefits. As long as they are not too poor to open the pot, every captain will come here regularly.

Generally speaking, it is once every half a month to maximize profits.

But Qiao Yang never considers this. He holds banquets when he is in a good mood and holds banquets when he is in a bad mood. There is no purpose, just for his men to relax. This has always been the case and will not change in the future.

In addition to this, there is another achievement tip.

"Special reminder: You are as generous as a sledgehammer. You distributed one million standard gold coins to your subordinates at once, achieving a special achievement - spending money like water!"

“According to the degree of completion, you will receive achievement rewards, a special rare object—Pixiu Sculpture, and a background specialty—Captain Silver!”

The Bronze Captain has advanced as expected due to his excessive reward. The effect has not changed much. It is a little stronger, but very limited. The charm test and recruitment attraction have increased by an extra level.

What’s more surprising is that the Pixiu carving is a special rare object. It’s the size of a handle and can be hung on a belt. It’s not like a rare object, but more like an accessory.

——————

"Pixiu Sculpture. Special Curious Object"

Description: An ornament carved to imitate a legendary creature. A master carver took the heart of Jinyang wood and took three days and three nights to shape it. It has a weak ability to gather wealth and swallow luck. It is a favorite artifact of many merchants.

——————

The description of gathering wealth and swallowing luck is a bit interesting. Whoever gathers wealth will swallow his luck. To be honest, this strange object is quite ordinary, but it is not useless. After all, it looks good.

Hanging it casually around his waist, Qiao Yang leaned on his seat, his thoughts returning to that dream unknowingly.

He couldn't understand why the origin of the world that produced wisdom would protect him at all costs. Yes, he was the Son of Chaos and should enjoy all the preferential treatment of Chaos, but... was it worth it?

This move by the Origin of Chaos undoubtedly left his fate in Qiao Yang's hands, for no other reason than that damn love, in the name of love! ! !

What it is?

This feeling was strange and completely unknown to him, so he fell into unprecedented confusion and panic, which was even more uncomfortable than facing the gods directly.

No matter in his past life or this life, Qiao Yang didn't know what love was. He was already used to being alone. He didn't know what love was, let alone what it meant to be loved. To put it harshly, he was just a fucking iron orphan.

Even though he met many people later, he was the leader from the beginning. He always gave first and then got the reward, whether it was wealth, loyalty, or life and death.

Marquez does it, Tina does it, and everyone else does it.

But this is all with a prerequisite. From Qiao Yang's point of view, this is what he deserves, and it is so natural.

Admittedly, this is arrogance.

However, when Chaos appeared in front of him for the first time and everything that followed, his arrogance was shaken. Why is this happening? Why would someone pay regardless of the cost? The value is clearly unequal. Didn't He ask for something? ?

Qiao Yang used all his malice to think about this matter, but he couldn't get the desired result no matter what.

The Son of Chaos in the panel flashes regularly, as if He is breathing, which also symbolizes that He is not in a very good state, and may die in the next moment.

His heart also beat with the flicker, and the continuous pain never stopped since the end of the dream. This was an emotion he had never felt before, and he couldn't adapt to it, but he didn't want to lose it.

Even though Qiao Yang didn't want to admit it, the facts were in front of him and there was no point in escaping.

As if aware of his confusion and entanglement, the flashing speed accelerated a little, a warmth came to my heart, and a gentle voice came to my ears:

"Don't cower, I will always protect you...my child~"

The sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared without a trace, the flickering stopped, new power was injected, and then it fell into silence completely.

Only the Son of Chaos, which represents the connection between the two, shines brightly at this moment.

Qiao Yang, who had been staring at the panel, suffered a cardiac arrest. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. The uncontrollable pain was like gnawing out his bones. The feeling of addiction in his dream came back again, forcing him to take a big breath to relieve himself.

At this moment, Qiao Yang understood his puzzling difficulties.

He died for me!
