Chapter 199 The Temptation to Stay

The port of Yushan Island.

Several days have passed since the battle with Zaka's fleet.

Zhaka's downfall did not cause much chaos on Yushan Island.

In fact, on the second day after Zaka fled Yushan Island, the merchants association of Yushan Island spontaneously took over the management of the port.

All caravan trade continues as usual without being affected at all.

Following the developments of the past few days.

Nowadays, the giant trading port of Yushan Island, Anjin Trading Port, has become a tax-free free port.

The original owner of this port, the Yushan Island regime, was unable to do anything because the vast majority of warships disappeared.

In the end, Yushan Island officials had no choice but to compromise with the merchants association.

After completely abandoning the navy, it became a landlubber force that only retained the army, and completely lost its dominance over the Ninth Channel.

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

In front of Gao Qiang, a man in a smart suit was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"If you are willing, the company is willing to elect you as the new governor of Yushan Island, and you will also have the legal right to rule this large island with a population of tens of millions."

Gao Qiang stared at the man's smile and slowly shook his head.

One said, the other party's smile was very similar to the smile Long Xianyao showed when he faced Zhaka.

A little philistine, but quite decent, just like a smile carved from a template.

The other party was the tax officer of the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Association. He came out of nowhere on the morning after Zaka's defeat.

Among them, his shadow was indispensable behind the seizure of power by the Merchants Association and the establishment of the Free Port.

When they met for the first time, Gao Qiang also asked the other party, shouldn't the other party be on the same side as Xhaka?

And the other party's answer was also very realistic.

The taxes Xhaka paid did not include the company's obligation to help Xhaka when he was attacked.

The taxes he paid were far from enough.

These days, the man has invited Gao Qiang more than once to become the new governor of Yushan Island.

Now after being rejected by Gao Qiang again, the man was not annoyed at all.

"That's such a shame."

"I hope you will reconsider this proposal the next time we meet."

After saying that, the man turned around and left very sensibly.

But after so many days of entanglement, Gao Qiang understood that this was not the end.

What the other party said about meeting next time really meant it literally.

Sometimes, Gao Qiang could meet each other several times just by strolling around the port.

Of course, that's all for today.

Gao Qiang turned around and looked at the repair works of the two cruisers.

In the original battle, both cruisers suffered varying degrees of damage.

In order to give Da Kai time to repair the ship, everyone stayed on Yushan Island for a few more days.

Today, both cruisers have been restored.

Everyone also took the opportunity to really rest for some time, and went shopping on Yushan Island with the help of the "treasures" that Shasha picked up in Zaka's mansion.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiang took out a small cup with his backhand.

[Amber Gold Thread Cup (Wonderful Object)]

[Effect 1: When the non-toxic liquid is placed in the cup, it acquires the characteristics of burning heat and fine wine. 】

[Effect 2: When you collect the emerald glazed lamp, glazed luminous pearl, and amber gold wire cup at the same time, the clue conditions for the miracle ship "Dark Deep Sea" will be unlocked. 】

Because of Shasha's actions, Gao Qiang, the prerequisite for unlocking the clues to the miracle ship, has already collected two thirds of them.

It stands to reason that the last rare object: the glazed luminous pearl, should also be in Zaka's official residence.

But these days, even if Zhaka's official residence is turned upside down, no sign of the glazed night pearl can be found.

Gao Qiang guessed that this strange object might have been given away by Zaka as a reward for a certain reward.

He also asked Chang Shengrong and others, but Chang Shengrong and others obviously had no idea about this.

Well, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

Gao Qiang was just thinking about the people from the military headquarters when he saw several people from the military headquarters approaching.

Compared to the past few days, their complexions were obviously much better.

Many lords have recovered their strength after several days of training.

Except Lishan.

Gao Qiang looked at a person being pushed in a wheelchair.

The young man who had been fighting for everyone in the military department was now wrapped in bundles of bandages, leaving his mouth open and exposed to the outside world.

"We are here to express our gratitude to you before you leave."

Chang Shengrong stepped forward and said solemnly.

"The two hundred and seventeen surviving lords of Yushan Island will never forget your kindness."

"as well as......"

"Are you really not considering staying?"

Chang Shengrong looked at Gao Qiang seriously.

"General Mike's order has been issued. As long as you stay, from now on, you will be Major General Bi Younian of the military department."

"Even if you leave this war game, it will still be in effect."

"Forget it." Gao Qiang smiled and waved his hand.

He has no interest in staying on Yushan Island to guard the gate for the military reinforcements. This would be too boring.

"If you go to your Bi Younian, what does it have to do with my Gao Qiang?"

Having said that, before Chang Shengrong could continue to persuade him to stay, Gao Qiang had already boarded the deck of the cruiser.

Chang Shengrong paused, but the words he was about to blurt out were not uttered after all.

"See you later." He said goodbye to Gao Qiang.

"See you later."

The two cruisers left port one after another.

Gao Qiang also stretched himself in a relaxed manner.

Next, we can finally go to the third channel to witness the miracle of this era.

Because we stayed for a few more days, all the miscellaneous things were almost replenished.

In addition to the original spices and condiments, Jiu Luo also acquired some stories of various seas.

These stories are often compiled by fishermen or passed down by word of mouth, but they have been revised into books by the company.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiang glanced at a place on the deck.

It seems that since he got on the ship, Ye Na has been reading books.

What story is so fun to read?

Quietly approaching Ye Na, Gao Qiang saw the storybook in his hand.

[The story that the legendary fisherman and the deep-sea octopus must tell]

Tsk.

So strange, take another look.

Gao Qiang watched for a long time beside him, and Ye Na suddenly realized that something was wrong, and instantly hid the book under his butt.

With a blushing face and coughing twice, Ye Na glanced at the horizon.

"Do you believe me when I say I'm studying human habits?"

"Yes, I'm studying human habits so that I can better deal with human lords in the future!"

Gao Qiang's eyes were a little strange.

Use deep-sea octopus to deal with human lords?

What a vicious idea.

"Come to think of it, can't you pay more attention to your student!"

Yena suddenly changed the subject with righteous words.

However, after Yena said this, Gao Qiang realized that Long Xianyao's mood seemed to be getting more and more depressed as they approached the third channel.
