These crew members did not let Raine down, and his previous depressed mood was cleared away at once.

 

"By the way, Captain, it turns out that there is a mission on the Navy side as well." Avril leaned over the side of the ship and said mysteriously, "They doesn't call it the mission, Lieutenant Shobe said it was called the Wanted."

 

"Wanted? Wanted Luffy?"

 

"Ah? Who is Luffy?"

 

Luffy is the protagonist in an anime that Raine used to watch, but more than 300 years have passed. Avril naturally doesn't know.

 

"Oh, I'm kidding, you go on, what exactly is the wanted?"

 

"Captain, I saw two wanted posters, one is a wanted G-class pirate group "Wild Wine Pirates", the bounty is 1000 white pearls. One is a wanted G-class sea monster "Medusa", the bounty is 1500 white pearls."

 

Raine was shocked to hear this amount.

 

It took them several days to make a round trip to the ship to earn a few pearls, but a wanted poster with a four-figure reward amount more than running the ship themselves for a few years!

 

"Avril, what level is the G-class pirate group, and the G-class sea monster anyway?" Raine couldn't help but pry.

 

"Well, how can I say it... The main ship of the G-class pirate group at least the G-class battleship, do you see that naval warship? It is a G-class warship."

 

Raine almost a mouthful of blood sprayed out, that battleship at least 40 meters long and 20 meters high! The ship is equipped with at least 30 guns and a rough estimate is that the crew is at least 100 people!

 

This is only G-class? G-class seems to be the lowest level Raine has ever heard of. Terry said the sea monster they encountered might be F-class, it's level higher than G-class, and it turns out that G-class is still his unattainable level!

 

"In addition to the main ship, the G-class pirate group will probably also have four to eight warships escort, the level of the escort is not much of a requirement, even a small ship like Biao's boat."

 

Even a small ship like Biao's boat? Raine's heart took tens of thousands of tons of blows.

 

Biao's ship seems to be stronger than his, but it's the most insignificant existence in the G-class pirate group!

 

Avril saw Raine silent, she quickly guessed what Raine was thinking. She said with a smile, "Captain, you don't presume to think. Think about it, if the pirate group doesn't have some strength, what makes the general ships see them be afraid of them? Even some pirate groups have the strength to clash head-on with the Navy!"

 

"Eh? That seems to make some sense."

 

After all, Raine only evolved a few times. There is no need to compare himself with a pirate group.

 

Besides, as long as he is given enough time, it is not certain who will escape when an encounter in the future.

 

So think about it, Raine is finally relieved.

 

"There are also G-grade sea monsters, well, to put it bluntly, sea monsters are the mutant of undersea species. The Navy has a test apparatus that can be graded based on various parameters, and then inferring the strength."

 

"But we are not the Navy and don't know how the specific grading works. But captain you can understand it this way - a G-class sea monster can clash head-on with a G-class pirate group, or a naval squadron, and have a certain chance of winning!"

 

"Holy shit!" Raine couldn't help but let out a gasp.

 

"In that case, it's a miracle that Terry and the others survived."

 

"Yeah, otherwise no one else would have taken the time to find out, and by definition, the chances of them surviving are almost zero, their fishing boat just shattered as soon as it touched that monster."

 

"En, so that's why a piece of wood was not fished ......"

 

After Avril's science, now Raine has made up his mind that he will never touch the pirate group or sea monsters.

 

"We'd better run the merchant, I think the safety of the crew is the most important." Raine righteously said, "Now we should not care about those impractical. By the way, just now you said to buy some good food, go ahead, but control within 1 pearl!"

 

Avril had known Raine would be like this. Avril heard that the stingy Raine actually agreed to give out a pearl as a treat for everyone. she said excitedly and mischievously, "Great Captain! I'm on my way!"

 

........................

 

While Avril, Arsan's family, and White were eating, Raine began to plan his future strategy.

 

The next evolution would require 500 wood and 100 kg of iron, with wood costing 10 units for one pearl and 50 pearls total.

 

Iron is an even rarer material. It is even more ridiculously expensive. A white pearl can only be exchanged for 1 kg of an iron ingot!

 

"I still have to earn 121 pearls!" Raine said indignantly, "If I'm lucky, I can get an iron ore transport mission to the Sicilian market, but it's only 3 pearls for one trip! It takes 14 days to get there and back! That adds up to 560 days! That's if I get this high-paying mission every time ...... If I don't get it, or if I encounter a sea closure, it will take even longer!"

 

"Two years to evolve! Holy shit, that's terrible!"

 

However, Raine also has no better way to make money. If a steady transporter can complete the evolution, it is possible to spend two years.

 

Thinking of this, Raine still decided to continue to engage in transportation, while seeing if there were any other good missions, such as rescue missions, or whatever he had not encountered.

 

After that, Raine began to continue his career as a transporter.

 

During this time, it was the happiest for the Arsan family. Whenever they were free after running missions, Armin and Arsan could visit their mother Arhui. At times, Avril would also invite Arhui to be a guest on the ship.

 

Although Lieutenant Shobe did not recruit the two crew members he wanted, it seems that he has not completely given up. He not only personally helped to raid Biao's home, but also sent a messenger seagull to Avril.

 

Seeing that Shobe always shows friendly to Arsan and Avril, Raine always has the feeling that someone else is chasing his girlfriend, which is odd. If not for Raine knowing it was his own illusion, and Shobe seemed to be a decent guy, Raine would have thrown him off the ship!

 

During Lt. Shobe's contact with Arsan, he soon learned that Arsan's mother was working as a handyman in the market, and it so happened that the Navy kitchen lacked a person to wash dishes, so he recruited Arsen to go over.

 

This is absolutely great news for Terry's family.

 

This means that Arhui will have a stable and lucrative income in the future, and her status has also been raised.

 

The day went by without a care in the world.

 

One day, Shobe came uninvited to talk to Avril about maritime tactics, and suddenly, seven navy soldiers came rushing from the navy battleship.

 

"Lieutenant Shobe, quick, Emergency!"

 

"What are you doing in a panic? Don't be seen as a joke." Shobe shook his head and smoked his cigar leisurely, "Say, what is it."

 

"Lieutenant Shobe, 300 nautical miles from here, a G-class sea monster has been spotted!" The soldier said anxiously, "Thirteen ships coming from the Mississippi trading market have been destroyed, and the navy there is requesting support!"

 

Avril only felt a blur before her eyes, a blue shadow wavered in front of her, and then she realized that Shobe was no longer on the boat.

 

In the distance, Shobe's tall back walked quickly towards the navy warship, "Inform all personnel, gather for battle!"
