OBS Chapter 37 Before Setting Sail
Chapter 37 Before Setting Sail
Watching Officer Wang leave dejectedly, Jiang Shuzhou felt a pang of emotion.
A gentleman can be deceived by his principles, and Officer Wang can be considered a gentleman, bearing the burdens of traditional morality and responsibility, and silently enduring the weight of life.
Jiang Shuzhou didn't believe that Officer Wang would say such things to him for no reason. It was very likely that the two women did it. As for how they did it...
It's nothing more than using his status as a police officer to morally blackmail him.
This isn't very useful for someone like Jiang Shuzhou who has started to disregard morality, but it works very well for Officer Wang.
It was precisely because Jiang Shuzhou had anticipated this possibility that he chose to be sarcastic and tell Officer Wang not to come again, as it would be better for everyone.
Jiang Shuzhou would never help the person who indirectly caused his father's death, and Officer Wang no longer needs to be morally blackmailed and feel uneasy.
Different road non-phase plan.
Officer Wang is a good person, but Jiang Shuzhou doesn't need a good person like him.
Finally, Jiang Shuzhou showed him the remaining balance, which was also to prove to him that Jiang Shuzhou no longer needed his care.
Jiang Shuzhou sighed, still feeling somewhat distressed.
Why are all the people around me so weak?
They are both selfish and selfless. They are extremely selfish to their family and friends, but very selfless to others. His father was like that, and so was Officer Wang.
Undeniably, they are morally beyond reproach, but unfortunately, they fail to meet Jiang Shuzhou's standards.
Jiang Shuzhou took out his phone and sent a message to Officer Wang, telling him that he didn't need to come anymore. After receiving a sigh, he turned off his phone.
What are we doing now?
After a moment of silence, Jiang Shuzhou made a decision.
He picked up another bottle of nutrient solution and downed it in one gulp.
"Astral Descent, Initiating!"
Since things have come to this, let's play the game first.
There are too many annoying things in real life, games are much better, you can shoot people whenever you want.
Jiang Shuzhou had originally planned to rest today, but since he was already in the game, he decided to learn some spells first, then log off and take a nap. After that, he would search and organize the supplies on the ship and set off the next day.
"Wave-Making Technique" - Jiang Shuzhou was initially hesitant about learning this spell, since the name itself suggested that its application was limited and could only be used in water.
"Wave Creation" is a first-tier spell that can create artificial waves in a designated area. The size of the waves depends on the amount of mana consumed, making it an essential spell for mages to accelerate their journey by boat.
Once you learn this spell, you'll be able to row a boat without oars, relying entirely on the waves.
Jiang Shuzhou was very tempted when he first saw it; after all, what man could resist a romantic encounter?
However, considering the time constraints, Jiang Shuzhou did not include it in his preparation list.
But things are different now. Since we have plenty of time, there's nothing wrong with learning it.
Four hours later.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
The sound of waves rose.
"That's too much! That's incredibly reckless!"
Looking at the waves that were half a meter high, Jiang Shuzhou sighed.
As expected of the power of magic, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Shuzhou himself had personally released the spell, he wouldn't have believed that he had done it.
"With such huge waves, why worry about the ship not moving fast?"
Jiang Shuzhou doesn't want to go out to sea right away, mainly because he doesn't know how far it is from here to Velissco.
While it's possible to arrive in a few hours, it's unlikely to arrive within a few hours.
It's already afternoon, and if Jiang Shuzhou doesn't reach Velissco within four hours, he'll have to travel through the night.
It's important to know that nighttime is more dangerous than daytime, and Jiang Shuzhou didn't want to sail at night until he had night vision.
So he plans to set sail first thing tomorrow morning to minimize the time spent sailing at night.
Hopefully, this place isn't as far from Velisco as I imagine.

"Shocking! The life of a priest in the game is so luxurious! Brothers, if you want to be a priest and rise above others, come join us!"
"Defying the heavens! The empire's iron cavalry will crush all who oppose us! A true knight is one who, if he's a man, becomes a knight!"
"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Embrace nature's gifts! Druids welcome you!"
"What?! You're still struggling with melee weapons?! Musketeer: One shot, one kill!"
"..."
Looking at the various job recommendation posts on the forum, Jiang Shuzhou fell silent. Although the recommended jobs were diverse, there was no mage among them.
"What did our monk do to you?"
Jiang Shuzhou picked up his keyboard, ready to start his battle, but when he saw the message "Account posting privileges have been banned," he fell silent.
No? Dude!
Who exactly is the BYD administrator? He only posted some photos of scantily clad succubi, so why was he banned for a month?
I want to appeal!
After searching for a long time, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't find the appeal button at all, but he did find something more interesting.
The forum can be switched to other language modes, which means that the whole world is actually using the same forum. It's just that most people don't understand foreign languages, so they don't bother each other for the time being.
That's not the key point. The key point is that Jiang Shuzhou discovered that his blocked posting privileges only worked in China, while he could still post on US forums.
That's fine then. Jiang Shuzhou can easily exploit a bug.
Post in the US section, then use retweets to forward the post to the China section!
To accomplish the great task of shifting from export to domestic sales.
Even though I've lost the right to post, I still have the right to forward!
I'm such a genius!
Without further ado, Jiang Shuzhou started posting.
"With so many people participating in this grand event on the forum, how could I be left out?"
As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, he began editing the title.
"A flawless profession! Punching Druids! Kicking Gods! Cursing all who dare to defy you! The Mage, the class with the highest skill ceiling! Without a doubt! (Includes a short story about the legendary mage Roland)"
To enhance his persuasiveness, Jiang Shuzhou also cited classical texts.
He also pasted the short story about the monk Roland from the book.
Looking at his well-reasoned (and fabricated) post, Jiang Shuzhou smiled with satisfaction. Although some of the content used exaggerated narrative techniques, it was still generally quite credible.
The following is an excerpt.
"I'm sure everyone who sees this title will be curious and click on it. I know what you're thinking, but please listen to what I have to say."
"At the very beginning, I would like to solemnly introduce to you a mage, who is: the legend of the mage world, the mage of the legendary world, the liberator of all mages, the god-slayer, the creator of the floating city, and the destroyer of the magic network—Mage Roland."
"...(3000 words of fabricated short story omitted here)"
"Now do you all understand the true value of a Dharma Master?"
"If you still don't understand, then I'll tell you something next, and you'll definitely understand the true value of a monk."
"I have a connection in the Mage Alliance. It's not dangerous at all, but the profits are very high."
"Hearing this, many of you should understand what I'm talking about—alchemy!"
"Yes, alchemy. You don't think I'm going to rob a bank, do you? Those guys are all outlaws. How can you make as much money learning alchemy as robbing a bank?"
"As we all know, there's a saying that goes: capitalists will trample on the law and even morality in pursuit of profits. A 10% profit is enough to keep them active; a 50% profit will make them take risks; a 100% profit will even make them disregard the law; and a 300% profit will make them willing to risk being hanged."
"Then I'd like to introduce a business that has a profit margin of at least 500%. The cost is only 1 gold, but the selling price can reach 6 gold, or even more."
"That is to become an alchemist and concoct alchemical potions, and the prerequisite for becoming an alchemist is to become a mage!"
"How about it? Intrigued? Call XXX now... and become an alchemist instantly!"
"Just kidding. Fools can't become alchemists. A bunch of people who can't even learn spells won't learn alchemy in their next life."
"whee."
