"No matter what, I have to thank Young Hero Lin on behalf of everyone on this ship for saving our lives. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be standing here safe and sound." Okuda bowed deeply to Lin Yi.
Everyone's eyes widened as if they'd just seen a ghost. The captain was supposed to stand up for Ren Zhongyuan and teach Lin Yi a lesson! How did things turn out like this all of a sudden?
Also, what did he mean by thanking Lin Yi for saving his life on behalf of everyone else? What in the world had just happened?
Everyone was confused. Ren Zhongyuan looked at Okuda with his mouth agape. He couldn't help but want to jump out and ask for an explanation. However, before he could open his mouth, Uncle Okuda shot him a stern look, making him shut up.
"No need. We're all on the same boat. I'm just trying to protect myself." Lin Yi waved his hand. To be honest, if there were other ways to ensure the safety of Ning Xuefei and the others, with Okuda's previous actions, Lin Yi might not be willing to stand out and save the situation.
Even if Lin Yi was willing, that thing might not be willing to help him out so wholeheartedly. After all, this was a Sea Dragon that was related to him! Who the hell would help a human fight against their own relatives, even if they were distant relatives that had nothing to do with each other! They still had a dragon in their name!
"Young Hero Lin, you're too humble. No matter what, I have to thank you." Okuda was still very sincere. He invited, "I also know that with Young Hero Lin's ability, it's really a waste of your talent to be a lookout. So, I'm now sincerely inviting you to join my ship in the name of the captain. With Young Hero Lin's sailing ability, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can promise you the position of vice-captain in the future! "
There was an uproar. This matter was getting more and more confusing. It was fine if Okuda didn't think of ways to screw over Lin Yi, but why was he trying to rope in Lin Yi? He even put down his status as a corporal and offered the position of vice-captain?!
Everyone was just watching the show, but Ren Zhongyuan was so shocked that his jaw was dislocated. He looked at Okuda Dam in disbelief. What was Uncle Okuda doing?
Little did he know that Okuda Ba was only willing to help him deal with Lin Yi because he was giving his father face. However, after last night's battle, Lin Yi's value was far above his father's. If he didn't quickly change his attitude, it would only prove that Okuda Ba was a fool.
For a person like Okuda Ba who was used to gallop on the sea, a talented sailing master was absolutely more important than anything else. What Seventh Level Alchemist could not compare to him at all. This was the trump card that could allow him to sit back and relax at sea!
Okuda Dam's invitation. Even Lin Yi couldn't help but be moved. The position of vice-captain was basically on the same level as the vice-dean of East Continent College. In order to win him over, the other party didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money.
But as much as he was moved, Lin Yi had never planned on doing something like this. Naturally, he wouldn't accept an invitation like this. He shook his head faintly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in this. Please find someone else, captain."
Okuda Ba's expression suddenly froze. Even if the other party was the Prince Consort of West Island with a promising future, he was still a master in the Middle-stage of Nascent Soul after all. Offering such a high-level position as vice-captain was already very sincere, but he didn't expect it to be rejected without hesitation. Sure enough, it was not so easy to invite a master.
"In that case, I won't force you." Okuda Ba had to smile bitterly. Although he was very disappointed, he also knew that people like Lin Yi had to be on good terms with as many ways as possible. In this way, there might be a chance in the future. Otherwise, if he continued to offend people like this, he would only make himself an unimaginably strong enemy.
With Lin Yi's amazing performance in the battle last night, he now couldn't help but start to doubt Lin Yi's background. At least one thing was for sure, this guy was not as simple as the Prince Consort of West Island or a disciple of North Island. There must be a more powerful and terrifying background behind him!
Otherwise, it was impossible for him to master the Starfall Formation so skillfully. After all, this kind of thing was hard to come by, whether it was in West Island or North Island.
However, Okuda Ba didn't give up so easily. Instead, he suggested, "This time, my ship's vitality is greatly damaged. If there's no powerful person to personally control it, there may be more trouble on the way. So I have a presumptuous request, and I hope Young Master Lin will consider it seriously."
"Oh? Just say it. " Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had changed a lot about this guy now. At least he didn't hate him as much as before. If it wasn't an outrageous request, it wouldn't be a problem to agree. After all, they were still on this warship. If something went wrong, they would definitely be in trouble.
"I want to invite Young Master Lin to control this warship together. Don't worry, this time there won't be a mistake like before. All the crew members on this warship will carefully follow Young Master Lin's every order. I wonder if Young Master Lin can help me?" Okuda Ba paused, then added, "Of course, this needs a good reason. An honorary vice-captain position should be just right. Young Master Lin, don't worry, this won't affect anything else you do. If you want to go, just go. There's no need to be entangled."
"You want me to control this warship together?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He didn't care about the honorary vice-captain position at all, but he was very interested in the opportunity to control an ancient warship of this scale!
Even if one didn't have a sailor's dream of riding the sea, as long as one was a man, they would be instinctively interested in these things. Guns, cannons, carriages, horses, especially a super warship that represented the ultimate power. This was something that was destined in their bones. Lin Yi was no exception.
As an assassin, Lin Yi had piloted planes and cannons in the mortal world, but he had never piloted a warship before! Especially after personally controlling a super killing formation like the Starfall Matrix, Lin Yi actually had a tendency to love it so much that he couldn't bear to part with it!
Even though he had only listened to the ghost's orders and played the chess pieces, using the Starfall Matrix to fight against a super overlord of the sea like the Sea Dragon, and even beat it until it ran away in panic. That feeling was extremely satisfying, and he couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
