Chapter 57: Hunger

Chen Jiao felt very hungry, very hungry, very hungry, and only now did she suddenly realize how ridiculous her past self-pity was. Although he was oppressed in the Chen family, at least when he was in the Chen family, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and if he wanted to study the refining weapon, he would have the corresponding resources to supply, even if it was not much, but at least there was still it.

But when she embarked on this journey and really started this experience, she knew what hardship was. Although she had made sufficient preparations before leaving, she realized how difficult such a day would be when she was faced with not having enough spiritual food supply.

How many days have passed since boarding this guardianship, Chen Jiao herself has a little unclear, she only remembers that on the first night she was placed on the trial island by the Imperial Navy, she met a group of monks who participated in the trial like herself, but those people were extremely arrogant and full of strength. When I met those people, I didn't even remember to open the fight and fight well, and I was directly captured, if I didn't have the ability to refine weapons, I might have died that day.

This guardianship is the one that the Imperial Navy put on the trial island, the day after he was captured, he followed the group of people who caught him to board this guardianship, Chen Jiao was extremely shocked by the efficiency of these people, although she didn't know what the situation was on the other trial islands, but in her opinion, there was a trial of three hundred people scattered, no matter how bad it was, there would be a split, a war, and then the process of unification. The result was a group of fierce monks, who could be said to have completed this qiē in almost one day.

In the end, the guardianship was named the Lily of the Valley, and after learning that the captain of the Lily of the Valley was Song Linglan, Chen Jiao's doubts and shocks about this matter were much less. Song Linglan, the real proud daughter of the Song family among the younger generation of the Song family in Shuanglong City, wanted to come to this trial, and the Song family still invested a lot of money in her after all. With the high-ranking generals of the Imperial Navy personally presiding over the distribution of trial monks, Song Linglan could still gather so many good players around him, to say that there was no prior arrangement, and it was all a coincidence, Chen Jiao would not believe anything.

However, no matter how thoroughly Chen Jiao's analysis is, she can't change her current situation - captivity. Be optimistic, at least a useful captive.

After being caught on the Lily of the Valley, Chen Jiao could only and only need to do one thing, that is, to constantly improve and maintain the spirit cannon on the Lily of the Valley. No matter how high-level the spirit cannon is, as long as it is in use, someone must repair it, and if you want to be competent for this job, you must be a refiner. The Song family is already famous for being good at fighting, and there is really no talent in refining weapons, which gives Chen Jiao a chance to live.

It was precisely because she successfully improved the ship's spirit cannon on the Lily of the Valley before, so that the power of the spirit cannon increased by one percent, and it was not easy to exchange for a small amount of poor spiritual food, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Jiao's value was discovered.

In Song Linglan's words, "I didn't expect this stinky refiner to be really useful", Song Linglan tried her best to show all her attainments in the way of refining for more than ten years, but in exchange for the title of "stinky refiner", in exchange for the spiritual food that was only enough to eat for two days if you ate according to the normal amount of food in the past.

But this little bit of spiritual food, Chen Jiao has been eating it for five days.

Only now does Chen Jiao know that the most difficult thing in this world is hunger, and the most terrible thing is hunger. She also wanted some spiritual food, and she hoped that those reckless men of the Song family could truly understand the value of a refiner on a warship, and then they could get a sufficient amount of spiritual food. As long as he thought that the amount of spiritual food he was eating now was not as good as that of an ordinary crew member, Chen Jiao had the heart to kill.

However, the task given to Chen Jiao by the first mate left behind on the Lily of the Valley was that only by increasing the power of the spirit cannon by another 10%, or increasing the rate of fire by 10%, could he get new food, otherwise he would wait to be starved to death.

Faced with such a task, Chen Jiao seemed to have seen the end of her starvation. If the power and rate of fire of the spirit cannon were really so easy to increase, the so-called Great Refiners in this world would not be so rare, and everyone would be able to be a Great Refiner at that time.

Chen Jiao felt that her body had begun to weaken, and although her mind could still remain clear, she knew that if this state continued for another three days, she might not be able to maintain even the most basic sobriety. Once she fell into such a situation, Chen Jiao knew that she was definitely not far from death. She also knows very well why she gets such treatment, in addition to the fact that the Song family has always believed in force, and because she is the only one on this boat, she is an outsider, and the other crew members are all her own people brought out by Song Linglan from the Song family.

Chen Jiao didn't want to die, but she didn't have the ability to transform the spirit cannon on the Lily of the Valley, anxiety and helplessness made her love more and more impatient, looking at the refining furnace in her hand, Chen Jiao suddenly subconsciously said: "I don't know what Han Xiao's bastard is doing now, if I die, will he help me take revenge?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Chen Jiao herself was shocked. Looking at his surprised appearance on the body of the smooth mirror-like refining furnace, Chen Jiao frowned and said to herself: "What do you think, how can you suddenly think of him?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Jiao said to herself: "But then again, what can this kid do now, it should be very difficult to grab a guardian ship as a captain with his strength, after all, he is too stupid, but a crew member who is so resistant to beating, it is estimated that any captain will like it." ”

"But if he is just a crew member, can he still go to his third uncle?"

"If he can't find it, will he jump into the sea in a hurry? ”

......

"Chen Jiao, Chen Jiao, your heart is really big, you are like this, and you still have the heart to think about others. ”

In the dark cabin, Chen Jiao muttered to herself in an extremely lonely tone.

She wasn't bored, she was really scared, she was suddenly very worried that she would die silently in the dark cabin, and after being discovered, she would only be thrown into the endless sea, and no one would remember herself, and no one would think about avenging herself.

If that were the case, how terrible it would be.

Suddenly, the hatch of the spirit cannon cabin was opened, and the first mate of the Lily of the Valley walked in with a gloomy face as always, and said coldly: "This is your spiritual food today, and you must adjust all the spirit cannons to the best state before this evening." If you do a good job, you will definitely be rewarded afterwards, and if you don't do it well, I will throw you out as a cannonball. ”

After the first mate finished speaking coldly, he threw down the spirit food and turned around and walked out again.

Chen Jiao has long been accustomed to this attitude of the first mate, even to the Song family's own monks. Chen Jiao didn't care about his indifference, all she cared about was the spiritual food that was thrown in the cabin. It's just a small round cake the size of a palm, but now it seems to be a peerless treasure in Chen Jiao's eyes. grabbed the small round cake and put it under his nose and sniffed it fiercely for a long time, and after hesitating for a long time, Chen Jiao gritted her teeth and divided the small round cake that was not big into two halves, and then carefully ate only half of the cake.

"So anxious to adjust the spirit cannon again, so soon there will be a naval battle again?"

After a brief analysis, Chen Jiao could basically determine what they were going to do, which was nothing more than planning to completely annihilate the group of pirates they met a few days ago in the harbor. In fact, even Chen Jiao felt very puzzled about this, the pirates who could have three warships should not be too weak, but it was clear that they had been attacked for three days, and the group of pirates had not even had any response, and the two warships that were sunk were as if there was no such thing at all, and the remaining main ship was much stronger than the other two, but if it was still parked in a temporary harbor, it would only become their target in the end.

This situation is indeed too weird, but it is estimated that it is because of the sluggishness of those pirates that these Song family monks plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue, no matter how proud Song Linglan is, she is only a fledgling after all, she has successfully stood out on the trial island, and now for her, it is estimated that there is nothing more exciting for her than annihilating a pirate gang.

Although Chen Jiao's brain is running rapidly, the movements in her hands are not slow at all, no matter whether her analysis is right or wrong, maybe the war will start before evening. If there is even the slightest problem with any of the spirit cannons during the battle, it is estimated that they will be in a catastrophe. In order to survive, and in order to continue to get spiritual food, Chen Jiao was more serious when she was inspecting the spirit cannon than when she was refining it.

On the one hand, she longed for Song Linglan and them to be defeated, and on the other hand, she was extremely contradictory to pray that the spirit cannon would be good one by one, after all, she and Song Linglan were really in the same boat now, if they were defeated, she who was already a prisoner of war might be in a more miserable situation if she was captured again.

In the dark spirit cannon cabin, a very regular and subtle sound slowly began to sound, and if the expert was here, he would naturally be able to hear that this was the refiner doing something. However, the regular sound is occasionally mixed with some other sounds.

For example, Chen Jiao's little muttering.

"Those pirates are not deliberately not responding, just to set up an ambush to fight back against us. ”

Such a question did not come out too far before it was drowned out by the sound of the waves, leaving only Chen Jiao's extremely complicated thoughts and extremely contradictory eyes.

The sea breeze is gradually rising, the sunset is gradually slanting, and the sea surface before night seems to be a little too calm, so it is also a good pleasure to sprinkle a large net and catch a boatload of fish in such a leisurely state.

It's just a blood-colored remnant sun, but it seems to indicate something.
