Shell Island is a little bigger than Li Jiu imagined. It is not the kind of small island that can be seen all the way.

The vegetation on the island also looks very rich, and it has long been proven that there is no danger. There are edible fruits, some animals, and fresh water sources.

If there was no terrain that could be used as a port and larger ships could not dock, this would actually be a very suitable place to stay.

The Golden Holy Grail docked in the waters near Shell Island and dropped anchor. Thorle began to direct the sailors to lower the boats and send the prisoners to the island one by one.

Although everyone still doesn't understand why Li Jiu brought everyone to Shell Island and brought so many prisoners to the island.

However, everyone already has a bit of blind trust in Li Jiu. Anyway, as long as they trust the captain, he will definitely not do the wrong thing. There must be a reason for him to do what he is doing now.

Because they had a good time drinking yesterday, everyone worked very quickly and transported all the prisoners to the island before the sun completely set.

Old John and some of Toller's confidants were left on the ship, ready to assist the people on the island at any time.

As night fell, Toller had led people to set up a temporary tent on a leeward beach. Everyone was settled, and some sailors were cooking.

Here we will talk about the benefits of having an extraordinary chef class on board.

There are also three first-level abilities for chefs, namely [Food Preservation], [Nutritional Richness], and [Food Super].

[Food Supernaturalization] refers to what kind of food you eat, which can strengthen certain abilities in a short period of time. For example, drinking alcohol can enhance your strength and the destructive power of your fists. Eating meat can enhance your own resistance and defense.

The other two abilities seem to be very ordinary, even mediocre. They are really useless in combat, but for sailing on the sea, they are magical skills.

When sailing at sea, food preservation has always been a huge problem, so on a ship without a chef class extraordinary, everyone can only store some dried fish, brown bread and other dry goods, but the chef can use [Food Preservation] to make food spoil

The speed is slowed down and the original shelf life is at least doubled.

[Rich nutrition] This ability allows the chef to lock in the nutrients in the food to the greatest extent during the cooking process and prevent it from being lost, while ensuring the texture and improving the taste. It is also the key to ensuring the combat effectiveness and physical health of the crew.

Although Old John is staying on the ship now, he has handed over the food he has processed long ago to other sailors so that they can simply process it and eat it. They are all quite fresh and delicious food.

Part of the satisfaction of the crew also comes from this.

At this time, the bonfire was raised and the aroma of food began to fill the air. Everyone sat casually on the beach and blew the evening breeze that was not very cold tonight. They were all happy and relaxed. Even the captives could finally breathe fresh air.

They all feel much better.

At this time Li Jiu stood up and tapped the wine glass with a knife, attracting everyone's attention.

He still has to give everyone a shot of chicken blood first and maintain his current energy.

"Everyone, I know you must be wondering why I brought you to Shell Island, an island that has been developed, and brought so many captives with me."

Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiu said these words, everyone's attention was attracted.

They were all curious to begin with, but they didn't ask out of blind trust in Li Jiu. Now that Li Jiu had taken the initiative to bring it up, they were naturally full of expectations.

Even the captives were curious.

"Because there is a gold mine on this island." Li Jiu said slowly and word by word.

At this time, everyone looked at each other in shock.

The main thing is that they are all veteran sailors and are very aware of the situation in the nearby waters. Shell Island has been searched many times.

If there really was a gold mine and it had been dug out long ago, how could it be their turn?

Besides, there are also people who specially asked professional miners from Luoyintehe to look at the only hill on the island, and they came to the conclusion that there is no possibility of a gold mine.

This...the captain's words...

They undoubtedly believed in Li Jiu sincerely, so they didn't know what to do for a while.

On the other hand, every one of the prisoners wanted to laugh, but they could only hold it in for fear of being killed. Several of them had their faces stiffened from holding it in.

Li Jiu saw all this as a normal reaction. He didn't explain it. He just picked up the wine glass, knocked it against the sea, and said: "Come up."

The next moment, the calm and dark sea surface was broken, and a huge ferocious figure jumped onto the beach at an extremely fast speed.

It's that deep diver, Matt.

As soon as Matt appeared, the firelight only illuminated a little bit of its body, and most of it was in darkness. The entire silhouette was tall and fierce. The crew of the Golden Holy Grail was okay. They all knew that this was Li Jiu's servant, but they were just a little afraid.

The captive pirates were so frightened that they froze in place and did not dare to move.

What is that? A sea monster?

How could this little baron control such a legendary thing?!

Who is he?

Many people who had just suppressed their laughter turned pale, fearing that Li Jiu would let the sea monster eat them.

"In addition to the gold mines on the island, I also want to tell you one thing, that is, there are pearls in the sea around this island." Li Jiu said, calling Matt to come out.

Matt slowly walked into the firelight, completely revealing its ferocious body and the huge shell in its hand.

In fact, after Li Jiu arrived at Shell Island, he sent Matt, who had been cruising near the Golden Holy Grail in the past two days, to find pearl oysters.

After two days of training, Matt has recovered 70% to 80% of his strength. Finding a shellfish that is hidden deeper will not be a problem.

"Open it." Li Jiu ordered.

Matt easily opened the shell with great force. In an instant, a huge pearl was exposed in the dark night, shining brightly when illuminated by the fire.

People who were originally thinking that apart from being edible and delicious, the shells on Shell Island could have pearls were all dumbfounded.

The whole place was silent, everyone was staring at the huge pearl. How much is it worth?

Moreover, since there are real pearls, then the gold mine...couldn't it also be real?

"I, Innsbruck, never lie to people. If I say there are pearls, there are, and if I say there are gold mines, there must be." Li Jiu didn't speak very forcefully, but every word drifted into people's minds along with the sea breeze.

In my ears, it was simply deafening.

Everyone thought of everything Li Jiu had done, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. How could the captain be wrong?

He is so powerful!

Many of those who had just questioned Li Jiu felt a little embarrassed and then surrendered.

Even the prisoners felt that this young baron was unpredictable and had already begun to surrender in their hearts.

After a brief silence, the crew of the Golden Holy Grail burst into joy.

If there were really gold mines and pearls, wouldn't they be prosperous?

"captain!"

"captain!"

"captain!"

Everyone called him and surrounded him by the firelight.

Because he brought them light and future.

"Congratulations to the host for gaining the love and recognition of all the crew members of the Golden Holy Grail, and will be rewarded with a navigation certificate."

"Congratulations to the host for discovering the gold mine and pearl oysters on Shell Island, making Shell Island a possible source of raw materials. I will reward you with 2 navigation certificates."

Damn it?

Is this okay?

Here are three more navigation certificates?

Then I should be able to simulate it one more time, right?

Li Jiu also became happy.
