Start with the fisherman

Chapter 21 Departure, Hai City

It was just daybreak. After eating the fried eggs and milk made by Su Xiaozhi and putting on the cloak sewn by Su Xiaozhi, Cao Ze walked out of the yard.

Now the Cao family no longer has to drink fish soup every morning to fill their stomachs. When Cao Ze goes out to sea to fish, Su Xiaozhi is not idle at home. For example, she heard that the powerful people in Haijiao City drink milk and eat fried eggs in the morning, so she also tried it.

Now even Cao Ze doesn’t know what to have for breakfast every day. Every time he wakes up, he feels a sense of anticipation, and then is surprised by Su Xiaozhi’s thoughtfulness, which keeps him in a good mood for the whole day.

Walking in the village, everyone still greets him warmly, and Cao Ze responds one by one.

He untied the sail boat and this time, he did not sail towards the Coral Island, but headed southeast.

Although according to the information obtained these days, Haishi should be very safe, if anyone dares to cause trouble, the pirates will not let them go.

but,
"Speargun, give me some more!"

Now that he has enough points, Cao Ze naturally won’t be stingy.

Soon, there was another memory, which contained countless force-generating techniques to unleash the power of the harpoon.

At this point, the spear gun is complete!
But not enough.

"Speargun, give me some more!"

Buzz, a wave of memories poured in. The young boy back then had now grown into a middle-aged man with a weathered face. His spear skills were well-known in the village. He had hunted and killed big fish countless times and gained both fame and fortune.

Now his vehicle is no longer the shabby black-sailed boat, but a shark-hunting boat that is more than ten meters long and two or three meters wide.

That day, he sailed into the deep sea again, even deeper waters.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, he encountered a giant whale less than a hundred nautical miles into the sea.

Snapped!
The giant whale surfaced from the sea and swung its tail, immediately creating huge waves like a tsunami. The huge waves hit the hull, and even the shark hunting boat was swaying in the sea, seemingly unable to capsize at any time.

Fortunately, the giant whale was just playing around on a whim and had no interest in the shark hunting boat. After playing around for a while, it dived into the water and disappeared.

The boy, who had become middle-aged, looked at the giant whale and fell into deep thought. His mind was filled with the image of the giant whale's tail slapping on the sea.

Pa…pa…pa…pa…

The image of giant whales hitting the sea kept flashing in the middle-aged man's mind.

The next moment, the middle-aged man raised the harpoon, turned his hips and waist, swung his arms, and stabbed it down fiercely!

At this moment, the figure of the middle-aged man waving the harpoon overlaps with the image of the giant whale swinging its tail.

The memory scene disappeared, and Cao Ze was delighted. The last stab in his memory actually gave him a sense of Mo Ke Pei Yu's terrifying power.

Cao Ze also held the harpoon and carefully experienced the spear technique of stabbing fish.

It's like a giant whale swinging its tail, mobilizing all the strength in the body, then condensing it into a rope, and finally concentrating it on one point, instantly bursting out with all the strength!
If he had mastered this skill earlier, he would have been able to easily kill Zheng Tiezhu with his first strike in the Coral Island.

Call up the panel.

Speargun: Perfection

【Love Points: 102】

Cao Ze discovered that after the speargun reached perfection, there was no progress bar behind it, which means that the speargun could no longer be upgraded by adding points.

This made him feel a little disappointed. He always felt that this move could be improved and it was far from the limit of this move.

It seems that purchasing martial arts is still imperative!

Don't think any more and keep rowing.

But even with his arm strength, it was not until noon that he slowly saw some large and small ships appearing on the sea. There were many people like him wearing cloaks and rowing black-sailed boats.

Everyone was heading in one direction.

Cao Ze knew that he was heading in the right direction.

With such a distance, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to Bishui Village tonight.

Fortunately, Cao Ze had already told Su Xiaozhi everything before leaving, so she didn't have to worry.

After shaking for another half an hour, a small island finally appeared in front of us. The island was not small, about tens of thousands of square kilometers.

There are pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted rafters on it. You can hear the laughter coming from far away. It is truly a prosperous scene.

This doesn't look like a black market run by pirates at all, but more like a prosperous city. I just don't know how it compares to Cape City.

A quarter of an hour later, the wupeng boat was parked at the dock and Cao Ze stepped onto land again.

The dock was also bustling with activity, with porters shouting and unloading goods, and ships constantly coming in and leaving. The island was not entirely filled with black markets, but instead was full of teahouses and taverns. Due to its special location and delicate position, it became the best place for many people to discuss cooperation, so those who came here were not necessarily going to the black market.

This also contributed to its prosperity.

Of course, Cao Ze had no interest in going to a restaurant for a drink. He didn't have the ability to do so now.

After just a glance, he lowered his head and walked towards the block where the black market was located.

At the highest point of the restaurant in front, a group of young boys and girls leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. They saw the back of the man who glanced over here and then left dejectedly.

A young girl wearing a gorgeous red dress with delicate golden peonies embroidered on the collar and cuffs couldn't help but point at the back and said, "Look at that man, he looks like a dog!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were drawn over and they all burst into laughter.

For these, the top second generation in Cape City, except for a small group of people, everyone in Cape City is a dog!

Cao Ze was unaware of the scenery in the restaurant, he had already arrived at the black market.

There are many people setting up stalls on both sides of this street, some selling weapons, some selling medicines, and some selling deep-sea monster fish. For warriors, in addition to medicines that can replenish qi and blood and increase the speed of cultivation, the flesh and blood of monsters are also very nourishing, especially certain exotic monster fish, whose effectiveness is comparable to natural treasures.

But Cao Ze frowned after just a few glances. He saw that someone was selling ordinary grouper as a demon fish...

It can be seen that the goods on this black market are of varying quality. If you don’t have a keen eye, you will probably be slaughtered like a fat sheep.

After a quick look around the stalls, Cao Ze chose to walk into a pharmacy that looked quite grand.

"Hey, sir, you have finally come to the right place. If the medicinal herbs you want are not available in our shop, you will definitely not be able to find them anywhere else in Hai City!"

As soon as I entered the door, the waiter greeted me warmly and I didn't feel looked down upon.

Most of the people who come to the black market wear cloaks and hide themselves so well that it is difficult to identify their identities and strengths by their clothes.

And most of those who can come to the black market are very capable, and Xiao Wai is just an ordinary person, and cannot be offended.

"Is there a recipe to help warriors with skin smoothing?"

Cao Ze deliberately lowered his voice, making it hoarse, and asked.

"Of course!"

The waiter was quite proud, but he did not look down on Cao Ze for asking for the recipe for skin-grinding. "Our shop has skin-grinding cream, jade skin soup, and skin-regenerating drink..."

"I wonder what kind of recipe you would like?"

This really stumped Cao Ze. He had only vaguely heard of such a thing, but he didn't expect that there were so many prescriptions.

“What do these prescriptions say?”

Since he couldn't pretend to be profound, Cao Ze simply gave in. He felt that with his current strength, he could buy a prescription for skin-grinding level, and he would be able to deal with it even if someone had bad intentions towards him.

The waiter smiled slightly. It was obvious that he had met many customers like Cao Ze. He cleared his throat and introduced slowly, "The effects of these medicines are similar, but whether they are compatible with the exercises is up to the customer to judge. Also, if the same prescription is used too much, the effect will become worse and worse. You can use them in rotation."

"This skin-removing cream is a plaster made from medicine. It is applied all over the body and rubbed to promote the absorption of medicine by blood and flesh. The Jade Skin Soup is a medicinal bath recipe. Hot water opens the pores to promote absorption. As the name suggests, the Regenerating Skin Drink is naturally drunk..."

The waiter was talking incessantly and eloquently, and Cao Ze finally had some idea of ​​the situation.

"Then I wonder how much these prescriptions are worth?"

The waiter's eyes lit up, knowing that it was time to improve performance. "These prescriptions are five taels each."

hiss……

Cao Ze took a breath of cold air. This is just a recipe for skin rubbing. Why is it so expensive?
The money he saved for a month was just a drop in the bucket. He now had only one urgent thought in his mind: make money, make money, and make money.

Without saying whether to buy or not, Cao Ze continued to ask, "Do you have the recipe for Yi Jin?"

"Of course there are!"

The waiter had been receiving countless customers, and Cao Ze only had a brief moment of greeting. He roughly guessed what the customer meant, and his enthusiasm suddenly diminished by a large amount. However, he did not dare to neglect the customer and continued to introduce the customer.

"There are Yijin Decoction and Peiyuan Powder..."

After listening to the introduction, Cao Ze asked about the price again. When he learned that a set of Yi Jin medicine cost thirty taels, he completely gave up the idea of ​​taking drugs. He had to use his limited resources wisely. Now Su Xiaozhi's improvement in martial arts was much more cost-effective.

"Then if I want to buy martial arts skills, where do you think is a good place to go?"

After hearing what the waiter said, Cao Ze changed his mind. Instead of running around like a headless fly, it would be better to ask someone who knows the business.

The waiter was a little impatient at first, but when he saw the silver piece Cao Ze handed over, the smile on his face became warm again.

After taking a quick glance at the shopkeeper who didn't notice this place, he whispered, "If the guest has a good eye, you might as well go around and make some money. You may get some unexpected gains."

"Otherwise, if you want to buy martial arts techniques, you can go to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce."

Cao Ze nodded, thanked his second brother, then turned and walked out of the medicine cabinet.

Although he had guessed it, the second brother couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when Cao Ze left so decisively.

Of course Cao Ze would not make a decision so quickly. Not to mention that he still wanted to buy martial arts, he had to save enough money first. Even if he didn't buy martial arts, he had to go to other pharmacies to ask and compare prices before making a decision.
