Survival at sea: From planks to city skylines

"Ah, it's so boring, are you still blacksmithing inside?"

"Boring plus one."

"Hey, it seems that the wind has become weaker!"

In the live broadcast room, the barrage remained the same.

At this time, the sea surface has gradually stabilized, and the wind has also become weaker.

All that was left was the pattering rain.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

Three crisp sounds, the sound of iron striking, came to an abrupt end.

Zhang Cheng handed the dagger in his hand to Su Bai, and said softly.

"Fixed."

"captain."

Chapter 82: Task progress 80.00%

Chapter 82: Task progress 80.00%

What Zhang Cheng called just now was the word captain.

Naturally, there were only Su Bai and Zhang Cheng in the boat.

That is to say, the affiliation between the two is now confirmed.

[Congratulations to the host, successfully changing the city's command population to 2! 】

[Congratulations to the host, the city's productivity has changed to 41! 】

[Congratulations to the host, 80% of the first-tier ship missions have been completed! (Remaining unfinished: Number of planks: 14/16)]

In Su Bai's heart, the system's voice immediately rang directly, and the system's voice at this moment actually contained a hint of joy in it.

This kind of taste is still very good. The cold voice of the system occasionally has a little emotion, which makes Su Bai feel very comfortable.

That's right, Zhang Cheng has already chosen to join Su Bai's fleet, or rather to join Su Bai's city.

Of course, Zhang Cheng himself didn't know what kind of person he was going to follow, or what kind of career Su Bai was planning to do.

In his heart, he just followed Su Bai, maybe he could persist for a little longer, so that he could get more bonuses, and his previous life was saved by Su Bai, so it wasn't just for himself at this time. It is also some of his hopes to help Su Bai survive longer.

Zhang Cheng thought in his heart that if necessary, he could choose to eliminate himself for Su Bai to win the championship.

As for the process of Su Bai subduing Zhang Cheng.

it's actually really easy.

We are all men, and we can understand some things as soon as we say them. We don't need to say more, everyone understands.

Zhang Cheng himself was just straightforward, not naive. When Su Bai showed that he needed help, he became famous. He chose to stay not to cause trouble for Su Bai, but to help Su Bai.

Guys like Zhang Cheng are honest and honest, and he is the type who repays all kindness. In fact, he chose to stay because he wanted to give Su Bai everything he had to a certain extent.

This is repayment.

But when Su Bai showed his absolute trust in him, Zhang Cheng was no longer so restrained. Anyway, staying is a kind of help to Su Bai, so that he can fulfill his desire to repay the favor to a certain extent.

Therefore, the matter is much simpler, Su Bai expressed his thoughts of lacking people, and then Zhang Cheng just wanted to repay his kindness, so it was even better to be able to stay.

In this way, for Zhang Cheng, he can get a little more money back and settle his foreign debts, which is a win-win situation.

Su Bai stretched out his hand and took the small knife that Zhang Cheng handed over.

At this time, the blade of the knife had almost cooled down, and when Zhang Cheng handed it over, it was also where the handle of the knife was given.

So when Su Bai took it, he also felt hot, but it was slightly warmer, but it was much lower than the center of the fire plate.

Su Bai was a little surprised at the state of the blade that was bent at first, even to the point of breaking.

Not to mention that it has been completely repaired, but the state shown at this time can already be used normally, and even Su Bai can hardly see the previous appearance.

Simply, completely remodeled the entire blade.

Su Bai was overjoyed. With Zhang Cheng as a professional blacksmith, wouldn't it be possible for him to use iron objects indefinitely in the future, and let him make iron objects, so that he could use his strength as much as possible? .

There was no need to save on the use of iron, and Su Bai felt a burst of joy in his heart, and this joy was fully reflected in Su Bai's expression.

Zhang Cheng understood Su Bai's expression, and said helplessly: "Captain, it's not as good as you think, how can it be possible that it is not broken all the time, in fact, some parts of the blade are missing, it is the part of the blade that is used. partially filled."

When it came to blacksmithing, Zhang Cheng's expression also became exciting, and his expression gradually became more confident: "It's equivalent to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. It will break one day, but I can It’s just to prolong this process as much as possible, but for deeper building, special tools are needed, such as stoves.”

Hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Su Bai couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But it is also very good, at least there is already a professional to extend the use of iron tools, and naturally it can greatly improve Su Bai's survivability.

At this moment, Su Bai was a little confused about why the task of building a Tier [-] ship hadn't been completed, but he felt relieved when he thought that the two planks hadn't been installed on the Yiqing in the true sense.

The rest will have to be done tomorrow.

But what surprised Su Bai was that Zhang Cheng was willing to call him the captain one by one. This surprised Su Bai. After all, middle-aged men like this are usually given a rigid impression by the world. Su Bai was very surprised to be willing to follow Su Bai in Secondary School.

"Okay, the fried fish fillets here are all edible, go to sleep after eating, and when you get up tomorrow morning, you should be able to start normal survival." Su Bai said to Zhang Cheng, at this time he was already wanting to sleep up.

These things have been done for a long time.

After all, from the very beginning of the storm to the rescue of Zhang Cheng, the whole process took a lot of time.

Zhang Cheng nodded, but didn't move his chopsticks again.

After drifting on the sea for so long, he naturally knows how to survive, at least he is careful about the use of food.

It was in his heart, so Zhang Cheng already felt that he had eaten too much before, and he definitely refused to eat more at this time.

Su Bai didn't try to persuade him that there was enough food, he would only eat more if he led Zhang Cheng to expand the food reserves step by step.

Middle-aged men like this have a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis makes them maintain a frugal attitude, at least they are very frugal for themselves, and they are unwilling to spend more.

Su Bai is not willing to comment on their qualities, or Su Bai is not qualified to comment on this kind of personality. In fact, Su Bai's father also has such a personality. At first, Su Bai scoffed, but when his mother fell ill, It was the money saved by my father that supported my mother's early treatment.

Therefore, Su Bai also nodded, tacitly acquiescing that Zhang Cheng was full.

After Zhang Cheng warmed up his body, he stood up suddenly, opened the cabin door, and took a look outside.

At this time, the wind outside has become very small, at least Su Bai can no longer feel the impact of the big waves.

The shaking of the boat completely subsided.

There is only a slight drizzle falling outside, and the cool breeze that comes in from time to time shows the temperature outside.

"What are you?" Su Bai asked, not understanding where Zhang Cheng was going.

"I'm going to sleep."

In Zhang Cheng's eyes, there was extra firmness.

Chapter 83: Leadership Confirmed!

Chapter 83: Leadership Confirmed!

Su Bai was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect that Zhang Cheng was so sincere.

Although I didn't say anything before, but I also defaulted in my heart that the two of them slept together in the cabin, but Zhang Cheng slept on the floor and he slept on the tatami.

Anyway, they are two old men, so nothing will happen.

In this way, on the contrary, it will allow the two of them to have a full rest, so that they can better face the vast ocean the next day.After all, from now on, Su Bai and Zhang Cheng are companions living together. Although Zhang Cheng is inferior to Su Bai, the interests of the two have been bound together.

So what Su Bai planned before was not to let Zhang Cheng go out to sleep, but to sleep inside.

"No need, you can sleep in the cabin completely. I sleep on tatami, so you can just sleep on the floor." Su Bai said, with a puzzled tone in his tone.

Su Bai now also gave his own solution.

It can be said that Su Bai's words are very sincere, after all, these words are really applicable to the current relationship between the two.

Zhang Cheng turned around, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll stop calling you the captain, let's call you Xiao Su."

His expression at this time was very serious.

"Let me tell you about the time when I was in the big blacksmith shop. The owner of the shop at the beginning was the old boss. He has always been very serious to us."

"Although sometimes he treats us very well, but most of the time they are very different. Although the boss works with us, the place where the boss sleeps is much better than ours, and the food and drink are also good. Quite a few."

Zhang Cheng's tone at this time was very serious, and there was a bit of aftertaste in his expression.

"At the time, we thought it was greedy, but in our hearts, we were more in awe and respect for the boss. No one dared to be lazy. If we were caught, we would not be fined two days' wages."

"The big iron shop is getting better and better, and it soon became the best blacksmith shop in our town."

Su Bai listened carefully and did not speak.

Zhang Cheng's expression at this time already carried the yearning for recalling his youth, or a kind of nostalgia. He continued: "Later, the old boss passed away, and his son took over the blacksmith shop that was passed down. .”

"The new boss is someone who has read the book, knows advanced things like democracy, eats and lives with us, and shares weal and woe. When he sees someone who is lazy, he just talks about it, and understands it with emotion."

There was regret in Zhang Cheng's tone: "Everyone is a coolie. As long as one person is caught and not fined, everyone will want to be lazy and take the new boss seriously."

"Later, the smithy fell down."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he didn't speak any more, and stared at Su Bai with a pair of bright eyes.

Su Bai didn't speak at this time either, but was reminiscing about the story Zhang Cheng just told, or what Zhang Cheng himself experienced.

He suddenly understood what was the significance of Zhang Cheng telling himself this.

For Zhang Cheng, he regarded himself as a lifesaver. Naturally, everything came from the perspective of being good to Su Bai, and what Zhang Cheng was talking about at this time was about Su Bai and his subordinates. The question of human distinction.

The meaning of it needs to be understood by Su Bai himself.

What Su Bai wants to build is a huge city.

And what he told Zhang Cheng was that he might still recruit these contestants, but he had to be the leader.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng told Su Bai the story of how he used to work in the blacksmith shop.

And Su Bai, if he really wants to build a city, he must make sure that the city is headed by himself, or that those contestants who submit to him and live with him are willing to pay for his words. A lot of unnecessary labor.

For example, building a drainage system is completely unnecessary for survival in the wilderness. After all, most of the contestants are here to dawdle and wait for money, but what Su Bai has to do is to build a city.

Therefore, the interests of the two will definitely conflict, and the lazy human inertia of citizens and Su Bai's will to build a city will definitely go against each other.

Su Bai must establish his own majesty before these things happen, only in this way will he not delay his plan to build the city because of the laziness of the citizens.

This must be a city headed by himself, and it can only be Su Bai's words. All citizens who disobey Su Bai must be expelled.

To establish this order, we need to start from the very beginning, and we cannot delay it to the end. Only by adhering to this system from the beginning, will the subsequent implementation be smoother and smoother.

Otherwise, there will be more and more people, and it will be difficult to establish this system later, and it may become a mess.

A touch of emotion also rose in Su Bai's heart.

Although Zhang Cheng didn't know much, the reminder at this time made him completely understand.

I am a person who wants to do big things, and some things are indeed the sooner you start, the better.

Of course, Zhang Cheng didn't know that there was such a big turmoil in Su Bai's heart. He told the story just because he didn't want Su Bai's captain status to be threatened in the future expansion.

After all, he didn't know that Su Bai's real plan was to build a sea city.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, we will build you a place to rest as soon as possible.

"Su Bai nodded, agreeing to Zhang Cheng's request to go out.

"It's the wind." Su Bai said hesitantly, he was considering whether to live here a few days ago.

But before Su Bai could say anything, Zhang Cheng interrupted Su Bai's words.

"The wind and rain are nothing. They've all calmed down. I didn't experience any hardships when I was drifting at sea before. This kind of suffering is nothing. It's just over." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

Seeing that Su Bai agreed to go out by himself, Zhang Cheng felt more at ease, a middle-aged man like him was afraid of indebting others.

"If you have enough to eat tonight, you won't be cold." After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he opened the hatch and came outside Yiqinhao.

At this time, the wind outside had already subsided, and the rain was pouring down like silk, bringing a slight chill.
