The strangely shaped rocks were like a huge dragon lying on the surface of the sea. The entire island was shrouded in mist. Even though it was early in the morning, the sunlight still couldn't shine into the island that was filled with the vicissitudes of life. + ◆ Top + ◆ Point + ◆ Small + ◆ Say.
Lush and huge ancient trees stood tall around the island. The ancient trees reached the sky, creating a wild scene. Even though they were above the sea, they could still hear the roars of unknown beasts coming from the island, making them shudder.
"Good morning, Captain Horn!" After leaving the cabin, Ye Xuan saw Horn standing at the bow of the ship, smoking and observing the Skull Island in the distance.
"Yes, Mr. Ye. Did you sleep well last night?" Horn turned his head and smiled at Ye Xuan.
"Not bad, just a little noisy!" Ye Xuan walked to Horn's side and also stood facing the Skull Island.
"I'm sorry about that, but for the sake of survival, I can only let you sleep less." Horn really didn't know what to say about Ye Xuan being able to sleep peacefully after the ship hit the reef.
"It's okay. I've always been a light sleeper!" Ye Xuan smiled faintly, then asked, "How's the situation of the Adventure? Is it serious?"
"It's fine. The bottom of the ship was cut by the reef, and the engine and propeller were slightly damaged. It will probably be repaired today." A bitter smile flashed across Horn's face.
"That's good!" Hearing that the ship wasn't seriously damaged, Ye Xuan smiled and nodded. "It seems that I have to say goodbye to you!"
Horn was stunned. He turned his head and said, "Do you really want to go to the island alone? Do you know how dangerous this kind of deserted island is? "
Hearing Horn's obviously concerned tone, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Captain Horn. But isn't this my goal? As for the danger, there might be, but I think I should be able to handle it. "
"Alright, if you think so." Seeing that Ye Xuan was so determined to land on the island, Horn stopped persuading him and puffed out a mouthful of smoke.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan reached into his pocket and took out five stacks of ten thousand dollars. He handed them to Horn. "Captain Horn, this is my compensation for the damage to the Adventure. Take it!"
Horn was stunned when he saw the money in Ye Xuan's hand. Although there was desire in his eyes, he still shook his head and said, "There's no need. I've already collected the money I should have collected. The money I collected this time is enough to compensate for the damage to the Adventure. You don't have to pay me anymore."
He didn't expect Horn to reject the offer. Fifty thousand USD was enough to buy an Adventure like the one it was now. There were many people in the world who couldn't resist the temptation of money. This made Ye Xuan look at Horn in a new light.
"You're welcome. The money is useless to me anyway. You don't think you can buy anything with it on this Skeleton Island, do you?" Ye Xuan smiled. He put the money in Horn's hand.
Holding the money that Ye Xuan had given him, Horn looked at Ye Xuan carefully. In the end, he did not refuse and took the money.
Then, Horn put away the money. A faint smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face. "By the way, Captain Horn. Where is Lao Chui now? "
"Oh, he should be helping at the bottom of the cabin now. I'll ask someone to call him up." Horn knew that Ye Xuan must have something to talk to Lao Chui, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Okay, thank you!" After a pause, Ye Xuan added, "Captain Horn, if Lao Chui stays on the ship in the future, please take care of him a little."
"Okay!" Horn nodded, then turned around and asked someone to call Cui Yuanqing up.
Not long after, Lao Chui came out of the cabin. He had taken off his hat, revealing his short hair. His sleeves and pants were rolled up. His body was full of water stains and stains. He looked a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Ye, Captain Horn said you were looking for me?" Lao Chui patted his clothes and asked with an honest smile.
"Yes!" Ye Xuan nodded and said to Lao Chui, "Lao Chui, I'm leaving the Adventure soon. There are some things that I don't need, so I want to give them to you."
While speaking, Ye Xuan put his hand behind his back, and with a thought, a black bag suddenly appeared in his hand. He handed the bag to Lao Chui.
"Hehe, Mr. Ye, you are too polite!" Lao Chui rubbed his hands and looked at the bag in Ye Xuan's hand. He thought that it was not something expensive, so he took the bag.
However, when he took the bag, Lao Chui's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the stacks of US dollars in the bag in disbelief. He looked up at Ye Xuan with a face full of excitement and shock. He pushed the bag back to Ye Xuan with trembling hands, "No, no, no, Mr. Ye, this is too expensive. I, I can't accept it."
"Lao Chui, calm down!" Seeing the look on Lao Chui's face, Ye Xuan grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "We Huaxia people say that it is fate that brought us together. Since I was able to meet you on the Adventurer, it is naturally fate that brought us together. So, it is also fate that brought me this gift.
"No, no, Mr. Ye, this money is too much. I can't accept it, I can't accept it …" No matter what Ye Xuan said, Lao Chui was determined not to accept Ye Xuan's money.
Seeing that Lao Chui was determined not to accept his money, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and looked at Lao Chui, "Actually, Lao Chui, I won't be going back to America for a while. I know there must be a lot of our compatriots who are suffering there. If you think this money is too much, I hope you can use it to help our compatriots who are stranded in a foreign country. This money is useless to me. Instead of leaving it here as waste paper, why don't you use it to help more people? What do you think?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Lao Chui was stunned. Two streams of tears rolled down from his eyes. He suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Xuan and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ye. You are such a good man. I thank you on behalf of our compatriots who are suffering in America. Thank you …!!!"
Ye Xuan reacted quickly. He didn't let Lao Chui kneel down. Instead, he held Lao Chui up. Looking at Lao Chui's tearful face, Ye Xuan felt bad. Suddenly, he remembered a sentence he heard in a movie: With great power comes great responsibility!
After comforting Lao Chui and asking him to hide the money, Ye Xuan began to recall what he had done after he got the Movie System. He examined himself and reflected on himself. Perhaps, in reality, he should have done something that was within his power, instead of fooling around like he was doing now.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. The most important thing right now was to complete the training in this world!
