Chapter 358 Set sail
"Recruiting crew!"
Shen Feng shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the floating island market.
Many residents of the floating island market who were originally catching ghost thieves immediately had their eyes lit up, waving and shouting desperately at Shen Feng on the deck of the ship:
"Dear Captain, I want to be your crew member!"
"I am an old sailor with thirty years of experience. Please accept me!"
"Choose me! Choose me!"
"Here comes the savior! Please take a look at my muscles!"
"..."
There were even some people, regardless of the fact that there were sharks swimming in the water, and they rowed boats and rafts directly towards the sailing battleship, hoping to board the ship directly to ask Shen Feng for a spot.
For these people who have been born and raised in the floating island market all their lives, as well as those sailors wandering on the sea, if they can board this unprecedented ship and become the crew of the mysterious man, that would be really awesome. The greatest happiness in this life.
At the same time, a dozen pirates who originally belonged to the "Beast King Pirate Group" rowed desperately and took the lead in arriving in front of the sailing battleship. They grabbed the ropes left by the ghost thieves and climbed onto the deck of the sailing battleship.
As soon as they climbed onto the deck, they immediately saluted Shen Feng:
"captain!"
"Leave small matters like recruiting crew members to us!"
"Under your leadership, we will definitely become the strongest pirate group!"
These pirates knew very clearly at this time that the thighs of this cheap captain who had come out halfway were too thick. As long as they hugged tightly, they, as the first batch of sailors to follow this captain, would definitely enjoy the food and drink. .
You can tell just by looking at the minerals.
And if they can become the crew of such a super battleship, this qualification alone is enough for them to sail sideways in this sea area.
Shen Feng smiled slightly, nodded and said to Old Bill:
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I need a hundred crew members and enough supplies."
The control system of this sail battleship has been mechanized, and even Shen Feng himself can barely control it.
Not many people are needed to perfectly control the entire sail battleship, one hundred people is enough.
After all, in this vast sea, the consumption of supplies is also very serious.
Old Bill was almost moved to tears at this time.
How could he have imagined that in just two days, he would have gone from being a member of a little-known pirate group to becoming a senior crew member of a giant warship, and even responsible for the recruitment of new sailors!
"Captain, please rest assured! I will definitely recruit the best sailors to make our Beast King pirate group the strongest pirate group in this sea area!"
Old Bill stared at Shen Feng with firm eyes and said.
Shen Feng smiled slightly and said:
"I believe you, and it's time to change our group name..."
Old Bill couldn't help but get excited and said quickly:
"Please give instructions, leader."
For a pirate like him who has lived on a ship all his life, changing the name of the pirate group is a big deal, and it is also a great honor for the captain to be able to say it in front of him.
Shen Feng touched his chin and said:
"Let's call it...the Salvation Pirates, and this sailing battleship is called...the Hope."
In the future, we will inevitably have to deal with various survivors in this world. Naming us the Salvation Pirate Group is also a way of expressing our attitude, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Upon hearing this, Old Bill quickly agreed, and then led a group of pirates to do various tasks.
"Everyone, go to the dock! Our Salvation Pirate Group will carry out employment registration and review work at the dock!"
As an experienced sailor, Bill naturally understood that recruiting crew members could not be carried out on the pirate group, but could only be carried out at the dock.
Several tables were quickly set up on the pier, and a dozen former members of the Beast King Pirate Group were either maintaining order or directly responsible for recruitment, and they formed a formation in a grand manner.
The people in the floating island market who originally begged Shen Feng also rushed to the pier and lined up obediently, waiting for their interviews.
The content of the interview is not complicated. It mainly checks whether there are physical disabilities or diseases. Then there is the age limit, as long as they are young and middle-aged. Finally, it is whether they are proficient in the sailor's work, including on-site climbing on the side of the sail battleship and demonstration. Business abilities such as reefing and hoisting sails.
Of course, those who are literate are preferred.
Standing on the deck and looking at the bustling recruitment scene on the dock, Shen Feng couldn't help but smile.
Every boy has had a pirate dream at one time or another, but he didn't expect it to come true here.
Wuta's voice sounded behind him:
"If you want to go to the Holy Corpse Market, you need to sail a long way through several foggy seas. You need an extremely experienced navigator to serve as your eyes and a lighthouse on the dark sea... But as far as I know , An-13 is a small floating island market, and the most experienced navigator has only traveled within a hundred nautical miles nearby..."
Hearing this, Shen Feng couldn't help but frown.
Regarding positioning and direction selection in the sea, Shen Feng really didn't think much about it before.
After all, GPS positioning was so convenient in the past that I never thought about the problem of positioning in the vast ocean without satellites and networks.
Now it seems that even with this sailing battleship, it is still a problem to sail smoothly on the sea.
"Then where can we recruit experienced navigators? Do you know the way to the Holy Corpse Market?"
Although he already had an answer in his mind, Shen Feng still asked.
I heard the young troubadour Wuta smile, raise her finger and point to her little nose and say:
"It just so happens that I am a senior navigator with a full set of equipment. I am a bard. The price of hiring me is not cheap. But in return for saving the An-13 Floating Island Market, I can waive the reward. But you have to answer some questions for me."
Shen Feng turned his head and looked at the troubadour girl carrying a long bow, and found that the chilling expression on her face had completely dissipated. At this time, she showed a narrow smile, and a pair of jasper-like eyes flickered, finally revealing It shows the temperament of some girls.
He nodded and said:
"Okay, it's a deal. If you want to know anything, just go to my room and ask alone."
Whether you can get the answer depends entirely on how you ask.
The recruitment of crew members went on until midnight, and a hundred crew members were gathered together. After Shen Feng's review, they all felt pretty good and were quite satisfied with the work of Old Bill and others.
What followed was a whole night of collecting and purchasing supplies.
Almost the entire floating island market was evacuated.
The first few crew members also finished processing the "minerals" they had obtained before. Everyone made a fortune and was all smiles.
Shen Feng did not get off the ship and rested all night in the captain's cabin of the sailing battleship.
The Wu Pagoda returned to the pendant tower in the floating island market and did not appear again.
The newly recruited sailors also tried their best at this time, desperately trying to express themselves, and doing their jobs very beautifully.
Chapter completed!
