More than three hundred nautical miles away from the floating rock island, there was a strange 'island'.
Rather than an island, it looked more like a ship because the center of the island was broken.
It was one of the ultimate weapons of the old civilization, a big ship known as an aircraft carrier.
Surrounding the hollowed out aircraft carrier were floating 'continents' made of large plastic boxes.
On the islands were shacks after shacks. It was messy and looked like a settlement that most of the safety sectors had.
Five lived on the outskirts of the strange island. Similar to most of the teenagers who were born on the outskirts, he did not have a name.
Since he was the fifth to be born and he was a typical Dongsheng, according to the naming convention of the Dongsheng Continent, his name was simply called Five.
Chewing on a piece of dried meat, Five Sons squatted at the port area of the strange island. He did not have any expectations other than to receive one or two good customers that day and earn three to five iron coins. That would be enough to buy three pieces of nutrition bars and sustain him for two days.
While waiting, Five saw a single combat airship sailing towards the strange island from afar. A group of teenagers who were waiting with Five swarmed towards the airship and squeezed at the edge of the port. Due to the scrambling, a few of them were pushed into the sea, but they did not have the time to complain. They quickly climbed back into the port and squeezed back in, hoping that they would be chosen by the incoming customer.
The single-person combat ship's speed was not slow, and it did not take long for it to arrive at the port. The protective barrier opened, and a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion walked out. His face was covered with stubble, and there was a scar on his face. He looked somewhat thin.
This middle-aged man's attire was very ordinary, but some of the ornaments on his body were probably very expensive.
The teenagers who worked at the port for a living had sharp eyes. A single glance was enough to tell that the middle-aged man was a rich customer, so they scrambled to be first.
Five could not squeeze to the front because he was malnourished all year round and his body was not strong enough.
However, it seemed like the God of Sea had blessed him that day. Under the envious gazes of the teenagers, the customer chose him.
Five jogged to the customer attentively. The customer did not seem to have any luggage for him to carry, which was another lucky thing.
"Introduce them to me." The guest walked quickly and left the crowded port area in just a few steps.
Wu Zi was behind the guest and had to run quickly to keep up with his speed. He seemed to be panting a little.
But even so, when the customer asked, Five didn't dare to be negligent. Without bothering to catch his breath, he immediately said, "Sea transit station number 119. The owner of this place is Silver Shark Barnett."
"You can speak slowly." The guest suddenly threw a small water bag to Five.
Wu Zi took it and drank a mouthful without thinking too much. However, after just one mouthful, he immediately stopped himself from drinking.
Sweet and refreshing! This small water bag contained at least Level 3 or above drinking water. In this vast sea, clean water was an extremely important and precious resource!
This small bag of drinking water was worth at least 100 iron coins! To Five Zi, this was definitely a huge fortune. How could Five Zi dare to drink it extravagantly? He also did not care about the feelings of the guests. This kind of good thing was probably hard to come by even once in a decade. He carefully put the water bag into his bosom.
Fortunately, the customer did not care about his actions at all. He only looked at it quietly with a calm expression.
After Five Zi put away the bag of drinking water, the customer said very softly, "Don't give me superficial information. I want the real information about this transit station."
Hearing this, Five Zi was slightly stunned. It seemed that this customer was not a 'fat sheep'.
Looking at the value of a bag of drinking water, Five Zi suddenly gritted his teeth and said to the customer in front of him, "May I know your name?"
"Tony." The customer answered simply.
"Alright, the honorable Mr Tony. If you ask what is good to enjoy in this 119 transit station, the first stop is definitely the Mamba Tavern. "As he spoke, Five Zi eagerly led the way in front.
As for Tony, he quietly followed behind the Fifth Prince.
From the beginning of 'may I know your name', the conversation between the two had already returned to normal. Therefore, a few people who walked past them would intentionally or unintentionally look at Tony with a slightly mocking gaze.
However, Tony did not seem to notice any of that.
Five Zi was obviously very familiar with the place. He was also very talkative. Along the way, he thanked Tony loudly for his generosity. Tony even rewarded him with a small bag of Dusk Wine and 3 Iron Coins.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did not reward him with anything.
Dusk Wine was the favorite and the only thing that the poor people in the area could afford. Although it was called wine, it had a slightly sour taste. The ingredients used to brew it were a common seaweed in the sea called Redstem Barba and the lowest grade of Level 5 drinking water.
As for the iron, if it was exchanged with True Capital coins, one True Capital coin could be exchanged for at least 50,000 iron coins.
Tang Ling rewarded Five Zi with a bag of Level 3 drinking water. Five Zi was full of nonsense because he wanted to protect his spoils of war. He believed that Tang should cooperate with him because he was about to do something risky for Tang.
On the other hand, Mr. Tony was very cooperative. He did not question Five Zi's nonsense at all.
The two of them shuttled through the chaotic surroundings until they arrived at a deserted alley. Tang Ni looked around vigilantly before whispering to them.
"Mr. Tony, if you don't have the strength or someone you know is waiting for you in the inner port area, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible."
"Unless it's a medium or large ship, the ships that come here for transit are not allowed. Otherwise, we'll all be … "Wu Zi made a gesture of slitting his throat.
Tony opened his mouth and smiled indifferently. The scar on his face looked a little hideous.
"Do you usually bring the fat sheep to the Mamba Tavern?" Tony suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Five Zi's face changed, and then he nodded and said, "Under normal circumstances, most people are like this. They are all from the 'Sea Wolves' group, and the Mamba Tavern has a share with them. I won't do that. "
"Why?" At this time, the sunlight on the sea was somewhat dazzling. Tony took out a hat and put it on. Under the cover of the hat, Five Zi could not see his expression, and Five Zi did not want to answer his question.
But why? Or was it because of this person's powerful aura? Or was it because of the kindness of a bag of Level 3 drinking water?
Five Zi still answered softly, "My mother doesn't allow me to do that. She said that we are Chinese from the Dongsheng Continent, and our ancestors have strict self-morality. And I love my mother. "
"Oh." Tony nodded and then said to Five Zi, "Bring me to the Mamba Tavern."
"Mr. Tony, are you crazy?" Wuzi looked at Tony in disbelief. He couldn't see through Tony.
"Just bring me there. What happens next has nothing to do with you. Also, tell me more about the 119 transit station. Don't miss out on any details. I want to know everything. " As he spoke, Tony looked around and found that it was very quiet. There was still no one around. Suddenly, he tossed a small bag to Five Zi.
Five Zi received the small bag doubtfully. A bag of Level 3 drinking water was already precious enough. Was there another reward?
Thinking of this, Five Zi opened the small bag and was shocked to see more than 20 Sea Coins lying quietly in the bag.
Oh my god!
It was a huge sum of money. One thing worth noting was that the Sea Coin was the coin of the Poseidon family. It was the most common coin on the sea. Of course, the True Capital Coin and the Black Sea Coin were also commonly used on the sea, but given Five Zi's knowledge, he did not know about either of them.
All he knew was that 1 Sea Coin could be exchanged for 3,000 Cast Coins. How huge of a fortune was that?
"I'm worried. I don't dare to accept it." Five Zi's palms were sweaty.
"I think you can take the money and leave." Tony was calm. There was public transportation on the sea and it usually traveled between the various islands and the transit station, so it was quite expensive.
Of course, one could also spend some money to take a merchant ship that seemed reliable or a private ship to the mainland.
It was the lifelong dream of many people in the outskirts of the transit station, but they would never be able to earn it in their entire lives.
However, the small bag of money that he gave Five Zi was more than enough.
After all, this place was not too far away from the mainland.
Five Zi dreamed of bringing his mother and his only sister away from this place. Yes, his mother had given birth to seven children, but in the end, only he and his sister survived.
However, what was the point of surviving? Without his father around, his mother and sister had to be extra careful every day, living like they were in hiding.
"Great!" Five Zi's eyes shone brightly.
He was a smart person, so he knew a lot about transit station No. 119. After all, it was a place where crooks and honest people mixed together, so information was the easiest to spread, even if some of the information was true or false.
On top of that, he had a feeling that this customer was unusual. He must be here for something unusual, and if he did not leave, would he not be dragged into this mess?
However, if he rejected the customer, he might not have the chance to change his fate for the rest of his life.
After agreeing to Tony's request, Five Zi tried his best to take Tony on the winding and sparsely populated roads, just to tell Tony everything he knew.
However, the outer port was only that big.
Even though they tried their best to take detours without attracting attention, half an hour later, Five Zi still brought Tony to the entrance of Mamba Tavern.
Half an hour later, Five Zi racked his brains to tell Tony everything he knew about transit station No. 119.
When he saw Tony walk into Mamba Tavern, he was afraid that he would miss out on something. However, he did not miss anything.
But after spending less than 40 minutes with this Mr. Tony, a trace of reluctance welled up in Wu Zi's heart.
Looking at Mr. Tony's back, he could not help but say, "Dear Mr. Tony, I wish you all the best."
Hearing this, Tony stopped in his tracks.
