Chapter 1062 Captain (Two in one, please subscribe!!!)

But what a strange requirement it is to have special abilities?

What is considered a special skill? What is the standard for this definition? If only the captain has the final say, wouldn't it be too subjective?
"Special ability..." Nuonuo pondered the word in a low voice. Suddenly, she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. She looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "Is this what the Word Spirit meant?"

"Bingo!" Chu Tianjiao gave Nuo Nuo a thumbs up, "You are one of the smartest girls I have ever met!"

Nuonuo just nodded expressionlessly, not showing any happiness or complacency at all because of Chu Tianjiao's words... Because of the word "one of", this sentence didn't even sound like a compliment to her. Even if it was uniquely stupid, she never liked to be "one of" anything.

"So you showed them your words, and then they took you to see the captain?" Chu Zihang asked. For the first time in his life, he was quite interested in Chu Tianjiao's experience, not just because it concerned the secrets of the dragon clan and Odin.

In the past, the man would tell him about how he accompanied the boss for social events, how he accompanied the boss for entertainment, and how he flattered the boss...To be honest, Chu Zihang didn't think that people who struggled for a living were so cowardly, but he felt that men were extremely cowardly when they showed off these not-so-glorious things in front of their son.

What son wouldn't like to hear about his dad's handsome and glorious experience when he was young? Even if it was a bit of bragging... Even someone like Chu Zihang would want to know how handsome and heroic his dad was when he was his age, and what earth-shaking things he had done.

"No, hybrids cannot casually display their spiritual power in front of ordinary people. Even if I am selfish, I still have this common sense." Chu Tianjiao waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say it? There are two ways to meet the captain, so I chose the other one."

"You have 20 million US dollars on you?" Finkel came over, smelling the scent of money.

"No, I only have a hundred dollars after collecting all the money I have, because the ticket for the Yamal is quite expensive, and I was very extravagant when I was young." Chu Tianjiao smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, isn't there a casino on the ship? I don't have money, but I can gamble."

"I remember you said that the amount needed to see the captain is 20 million." Caesar frowned slightly, "You use one hundred dollars to bet 20 million?"

"Fifty US dollars to be exact, because I spent fifty on a glass of iceberg whiskey." Chu Tianjiao snapped his fingers, "I chose the most classic and luck-testing Russian roulette. Facts have proved that my luck is really good. With odds of one to one, I won all the way without losing. Everyone was stunned. In the end, I had a full fifty million US dollars left on the field, in addition to the chips I gave to the dealers and spectators!"

Chu Tianjiao took out a bottle of wine from somewhere, an unknown brand of whiskey, and gulped it down while telling his son and his friends about his adventures when he was young... At this moment, Chu Tianjiao was beaming with joy, as if he had really returned to the gambling saint who was unbeatable on "yamal".

Chu Tianjiao still had the same feeling as last time. Seeing him pick up the wine and blow the bottle, Chu Zihang wanted to stop him. But seeing the man’s expression, Chu Zihang swallowed the extra words back into his stomach…How could the man who once walked with the wind be willing to be a driver for so many years? How depressed must he have been during these years?
Now he finally had a chance to tell others about his proud years, how could he be ruined? He should have let loose a little long ago, a man as arrogant as him, telling such arrogant stories, should drink arrogant wine.

"Fifty dollars to fifty million!" Even Lu Mingfei was shocked by the number for a moment. He calculated silently, "Multiples of one million. How many consecutive wins are there?"

"Twenty games."

Two people in the room gave answers almost at the same time.

One was Chu Zihang, who started calculating silently in his mind as soon as Chu Tianjiao said these two words, and the other was Finkel, who stole wine from Chu Tianjiao's wine cabinet.

Twenty consecutive wins, a number that even Caesar secretly smacked his lips. Everyone knows that you will lose every time you gamble in a casino. Although Russian roulette is known to be a game that purely tests luck, it is not impossible for the dealer to tamper with it. This is the unspoken rule of all casinos. No casino will allow a gambler to win so many games in a row and take such a huge amount of money out of the casino... But Chu Tianjiao still keeps winning, and it is definitely not just luck that counts.

"Time Zero", this man's word spirit is "Time Zero". If he activates "Time Zero" for a short period of time when no one is paying attention, he can be invincible in all casinos with this ability.

"Nineteen, twentieth, or twenty-one games, I can't remember clearly, but I went all-in in every game, and the gamblers who followed me in placing bets saw their net worth increase dozens of times." Chu Tianjiao said with a smile, "I was targeted, and then, as expected, the captain's men came to my door. They wanted to take me to see the captain, but they didn't use the word 'invite', but 'bet'."

"Did they take coercive measures against you?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Not really. Those strong sailors did come with electric batons, ropes and handcuffs at the beginning. But I cooperated very well, so there was almost no conflict between us." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "I think that group of former Navy SEALs and Alpha Team elites were also surprised. Faced with such a scene, there were some people who didn't panic or resist at all. Instead, they stretched out their hands with a smile, as if they couldn't wait for them to handcuff me." "Then did they take you to see the captain?" Caesar asked.

"They did take me to the captain's room, right next to the cockpit. A young man with a cigar in his mouth met me. He looked even a few years younger than me. He had two cross-shaped scars on his face that looked like knife wounds. He was stronger than any sailor on the ship. The wall behind him was full of guns, from revolvers to assault rifles, and even sniper rifles. Anyone who saw that scene would be scared to death." Chu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I was taken into the room by eight strong men. The guy in the captain's room stood up, pointed a 9mm Glock pistol at my head, and asked me loudly if I was cheating. His voice was so loud that it almost deafened my eardrums."

"I've had similar experiences." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, "Remember, that year you were a freshman and I was a sophomore, we were sent to Morocco to capture a dangerous hybrid, and we clashed with the local gangs. We were tied up and taken to their boss. We were back to back with two guns pointed at our heads."

"I remember that about three years ago, we were taken into a basement and blindfolded, so we used our hands to type Morse code behind each other's backs to communicate." Chu Zihang looked at Caesar and nodded, "We acted at the same time, knocking the gangster's gun away with our foreheads, and my 'Jun Yan' burned the rope. That was the first time we cooperated, and within half a minute, there was no one else standing in the room except us."

Caesar also showed a nostalgic expression on his face. In fact, he and Chu Zihang were not at odds from the beginning. They also had times when they had a tacit understanding. However, two leaders who were too outstanding, equally stubborn, and too independent-minded would inevitably become a confrontational relationship.

"As expected, a good father will have a good son. He is worthy of being my son." Chu Tianjiao grinned. "But my approach was not as radical as yours, because that guy didn't even open the safety pin. I still told him with a smile that I didn't cheat at all. Since he was just trying to scare me and didn't mean to kill me, just take me to see the real captain. The meaningless test session is just a waste of each other's time."

"Then what?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Then the guy narrowed his eyes, and after he said 'message reminder', he really opened the safety bolt. He put the muzzle of the gun to my temple and asked me what I meant by what I just said." Chu Tianjiao said, "He claimed that he was the real captain and asked me if I was here to cause trouble."

"The mysterious rich businessman who bought 'Yamal' would be a man who is more burly than a member of the special forces?" Caesar said expressionlessly, "I don't believe it even if I were him."

"Yeah, that guy just treated me like a fool, so I didn't bother to say anything more to him." Chu Tianjiao shrugged and said, "I said either you take me to see your real captain, or you shoot me here, but it doesn't seem to be good for the reputation of your 'Yamal', because gamblers won big and were shot by you. My achievements today were witnessed by a thousand people."

"Brother, if it were you, what would you do?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and asked Chu Zihang.

"I should have taken the initiative before he put the gun to my forehead." Chu Zihang thought for a while and said, "After all, violence is often a shortcut."

Lu Mingfei guessed Chu Zihang's answer, but he had to say that compared to Chu Zihang's idea, Chu Tianjiao's approach seemed more sophisticated. In many cases, violence is indeed a way, but in many cases, the best way to achieve a certain goal cannot rely on shortcuts.

"After I said this, the guy's face turned pale. He put down his gun and admitted that he was not the captain." Chu Tianjiao said, "I said, in fact, I have known who you are for a long time, Sasha Rebalko. Your name is actually Alexander Rebalko. A year ago, you were a major in the Alpha Special Forces of the Russian Federal Security Service. You retired early because someone hired you. You have no driving skills at all, but you have been the fighting champion for many years in the army. Your firearms level is also very high. Pistols, submachine guns and sniper rifles are all your specialties. You just divorced the year before last. Your hometown is in St. Petersburg. Your parents seem to have given you a sister..."

Lu Mingfei once again marveled at Chu Tianjiao's rich experience. He first showed weakness to the enemy and then revealed his cards after the opponent surrendered. This was equivalent to a double blow to the opponent's psychological defenses.

Moreover, Chu Tianjiao's intelligence gathering ability was truly terrifying. He had already figured out the background of the "fake captain" before boarding the ship, and he almost memorized the other party's ID number.

"You don't know how bad that guy's face was at that time. I felt that he wanted to raise the gun again to smash my mouth, but he finally held back. Maybe he saw that I was not an ordinary person." Chu Tianjiao said, "The guy named Sasha chose to take me to meet their real captain. He said that the captain was a very strange guy. If I met him, the 50 million I won might really be wasted."

"Of course I don't care. After all, I didn't come here for money from the beginning. My handcuffs are still on. They said this was my 'sincerity' in meeting the captain, so I had no objection. So they took me to the engine room." Chu Tianjiao continued, "Sasha turned his back to me and entered the password. Others would never have thought that the real captain's room was hidden in a place like this. Behind such a rough and heavy iron door, there is actually a different world. The elevator alone is luxurious. The floor is agate, the walls are inlaid with jade, bloodstone and turquoise, the ceiling is a whole wall of smooth white crystal, and the buttons are pure gold. Although the other parts of this ship are also upscale, they are nothing compared to this elevator."

"It sounds like the style of a nouveau riche." Caesar frowned slightly. Although he was also an outspoken person, he did not like this overly exaggerated style.

"I don't care about this. I just think the owner of the ship must be very rich." Chu Tianjiao shrugged. "Sure enough, the captain's room is on the top floor of this ship, the eleventh floor. I could guess it from the beginning because all those who pursue wealth and power like to stand at the top of the crowd. They like the scenery at the top and like to look down on all living things. This is human nature... no, it's probably the common nature of all living things. From the location of this elevator and the captain's room, I can probably figure out what kind of person the owner of this ship is."

"The elevator opened at the eleventh floor. What came into view was the silver-gray marble floor, authentic Persian carpets, and a dazzling array of paintings on the walls. The captain seemed happy to show off his taste and financial resources to the visitors. Those paintings, from Van Gogh to Monet, were all authentic." Chu Tianjiao said, "There is a piano in the display area at the end of the corridor. The nameplate says that it was once used by Beethoven. I think the captain is not a guy who is good at music theory. He just likes to show off. I once again confirmed my thoughts. Such a person is actually very easy to guess. He likes to show off but is afraid of showing his weakness, so he made his area extremely flashy, but hid himself, letting a brave soldier face the guests on his behalf."

"Do you think he is a timid rich man?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.
