Half a minute later, Tang Ling agreed, "Let's do it!"
He was not that naive to think that Boss Huang would tell him to die or do something unbelievable even though it was a little unbelievable for him to deliver flowers to the lady owner.
However, Boss Huang was not as simple as he looked. When he was serious, he would never be unreliable.
However, it shouldn't be that simple.
However, Tang Ling was not afraid.
His journey from the settlement to Safety Sector No. 17, to crossing the Herrocky Mountain Range, and now …
This proved that he was not only fearless, but also someone who liked to dance on the edge of life and death when he went crazy.
"Smart choice." Boss Huang nodded in satisfaction. He was obviously happy that Tang Ling agreed to his request.
"You can read two books today. You only have an hour to read. If you can't finish, you can continue another day. "As he spoke, Boss Huang tossed two books over the desk.
Although it was a book, it was not thick in his hands.
Given Tang Ling's memory, he could finish the book in an hour.
Looking at the cover of the two books, one of them was titled 'Playing with Darkness Port', and under the title was a messy drawing of some unknown thing.
The other book was called "The Purple Moon Chronicles", and below the title was a big, irregular pancake.
Tang Ling instantly felt like he had been tricked. He looked at Boss Huang. "Is this a book?"
"What else do you think? This is a book that I personally compiled. In Darkness Port, as long as it was a book that had passed through my hands, whether it was organized by me or compiled by me, I would never be able to read it. Those are all treasures, understand? If you want to read a single page, you'll have to pay at least 10 Black Sea coins. "Boss Huang looked delighted.
I'll be a fool if I believe you. Tang Ling did not bother to argue, so he decided to go with whatever Boss Huang said.
"By the way, be careful when you read it. Don't dirty the cover. The painting on the cover is my own masterpiece. It's priceless. "Boss Huang was not joking at all.
"Ah? What did you draw? " Tang Ling was ready to start reading, but he could not hold back his curiosity. What was that big flatbread? What was that messy, shapeless thing?
"Oh, that's the abstract view of Darkness Port and the Purple Moon." Boss Huang looked out the window with a deep gaze as if whenever his paintings were mentioned, he would sink into a state of art that outsiders could not understand.
Tang Ling was slightly astonished when he saw the covers of the two books. If Boss Huang was a soul painter, he would never be able to understand his art for the rest of his life.
Let's watch 'Playing With Darkness Port' first. He made up his mind and decided to understand Darkness Port first since it was the most urgent matter at hand.
Maybe because he was shocked by Boss Huang's painting, he was not paying attention at first, but after reading half a page, his brows furrowed and he started to look serious.
The study room became quiet as Tang Ling immersed himself in his reading. Boss Huang did not disturb Tang Ling. With the pipe in his mouth, he looked out the window and listened to the crashing waves.
Finally, Ding Dong came in. With her small body, she was able to lift buckets that were twice her size, and two of them at that.
She poured the hot water into the tub in front of the window and even poured some cold water into the tub. When the temperature was just right, she happily took the two small bags that Boss Huang took out from the bottom of the book and skipped away.
Boss Huang did not interrupt Tang Ling, who was reading. He stood up and placed the packet of medicine into the bathtub. In less than five minutes, a heavy herbal aroma spread in the study room along with the steam.
"Tang Ling, take a bath," Boss Huang said calmly.
Tang Ling looked up and reluctantly put the book down. He started to take off his clothes, but right after he took off his shirt, he noticed Boss Huang's sleazy gaze. He said cautiously, "Boss, I don't think it's a good idea to watch people take off their clothes."
"Only impure people think too much. I just want to see if your muscles are suitable for blacksmithing." Boss Huang showed disdain towards Tang Ling.
Blacksmithing muscles? Forget it. Tang Ling believed that against a person like Boss Huang, if he could not win, it would be best to stay quiet and let him do as he pleased.
If he could win, he would not say anything and would just beat the crap out of him.
Therefore, Boss Huang could watch as he liked. With that in mind, Tang Ling stripped down to his shorts and jumped into the big tub childishly.
Splash! Splash! Water splashed in the tub and some of the water splashed out, drenching the area around the tub.
Tang Ling soaked himself in the tub, enjoying the warmth. When the medicinal liquid touched his skin, it felt a little numb as if it was soothing his body that had been injured for a long time.
Boss Huang tossed the books over to Tang Ling. Tang Ling carefully caught them and placed the one that he did not read on the table beside him. Then, he continued to read 'Playing with Darkness Port'.
He had to admit that Boss Huang's book had the most detailed information about Darkness Port despite its ugly cover. It even contained some secrets. As Tang Ling continued to read, the real Darkness Port slowly unfolded before his eyes.
Darkness Port.
It was not a land without an owner. Its real owner was a person known as the Island Master.
Whether the owner was a man or a woman, what was his strength, background, or why he built Darkness Port less than five years after the Purple Moon era started, no one knew.
In the book, Boss Huang mentioned that he had some answers, but he would never write down the secrets in such a low-level book.
Fine, Tang Ling did not care about the Island Master, so he did not bother to complain.
Since the Island Master was too mysterious, the one that actually managed Darkness Port was an organization called the Darkness Court.
The outer members of the organization numbered more than 10,000 and the core members numbered less than 200.
There were less than 200 core members, and their highest leader was not one person, but nineteen captains.
Indeed, the most honorable occupation in Darkness Port was the captain of the ship. Why? Was it because it was close to the sea or was there something else? There was no answer for the time being.
Boss Huang knew the answer, but he would not mention it in this low-level book either.
In short, all the rules of Darkness Port were set by the 19 great captains.
Of course, strength and money were not part of the rules, but they could be used to break them. There were only two rules that could not be broken.
The first was to challenge the Darkness Court's rule.
The second was to reject the Darkness Court's recruitment on the day of the shipwreck and not join the team that fought against the shipwreck together.
However, from Boss Huang's point of view, the first rule could be broken as long as one's strength could suppress the entire Darkness Court.
As for the second rule, it was best to follow it. Those who rejected the shipwreck would be despised by the whole of Darkness Port.
What was the shipwreck then? It was similar to the monster horde that all the safety cities and sectors had to face.
The mutated beasts and vicious beasts in the sea would attack the human shelter by the sea. One had to be aware that the beasts in the sea were much stronger.
In short, no matter what, the Darkness Court was the first force in Darkness Port because it was the number one faction in the city.
There were also a few other major factions that occupied Darkness Port.
First was the Island District's Captain's Guild, followed by the Freedom Alliance in the deck area, and lastly, the Dark Verdict.
The Captain's Guild was easy to understand. It was a guild formed by people who owned their own ships and could be addressed as captains.
The Freedom Alliance was a powerful faction without a doubt. After all, captains were the top profession in Darkness Port. One had to be qualified to become a captain, and it was difficult to obtain the qualifications.
The Freedom Alliance was a little special. It was initially formed by wanted criminals from various factions, but after it grew stronger, it started to recruit members who were not wanted criminals.
As a matter of fact, to become a wanted criminal of a major faction in this era, one had to be quite capable. Moreover, the Freedom Alliance had a few notorious wanted criminals. Just based on that alone, the Freedom Alliance was quite powerful.
The last one was the Dark Verdict.
The Dark Verdict was an organization founded by a powerful rank 6 Purple Moon Warrior who was born in Darkness Port.
The Dark Verdict had a strict requirement to recruit members. Even the weakest member had to be a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior.
It was not hard to imagine how powerful an organization with almost 2,000 members would be.
At the same time, among the three organizations, the one that should not be offended was the Dark Verdict. It was not because they were the strongest, but because they had committed all kinds of crimes. In the name of maximizing the spirit of Darkness Port, they claimed unscrupulous methods as freedom and claimed exploitation as reasonable gains based on one's strength.
Among the three, the Captain's Guild occupied the island district.
The Freedom Alliance occupied the southeast district of the deck area, which was where the wealthier people lived.
On the other hand, the Dark Judgement occupied the northwest region of the deck area. There was a large area of chaos and slums in this region.
Other than the three major factions, there were many other factions, big and small, in Darkness Port. These factions worked together and fought each other. Every year, some factions would be wiped out and replaced by new ones.
Boss Huang had written about all the factions in his book, "Playing with Darkness Port". Of course, the ones mentioned were the ones that were worth paying attention to.
After the chapter on the factions, the next chapter was about the characters of Darkness Port.
In a place like this, one would not only have to be wary of the factions but also powerful figures who were unwilling to join the factions and did not have the heart to form their own factions.
Tang Ling browsed through the chapter and saw that Boss Huang had included himself in the chapter. He could not help but feel strange.
Unfortunately, the other characters that should not be offended were more or less mentioned about their strength, but when it came to himself, Boss Huang only highlighted one thing: his handsomeness.
Fine.
Tang Ling tried his best to remember the names of the important figures that should not be offended. Then, he saw the next chapter.
Be it the factions or the important figures, there were two places that they could never establish their rule over.
The two places were the cabin area and the commercial area on the deck.
