The World of Pirates

Chapter 4 Diary
1492/2/7

The second day in this world.

In the morning, I was woken up by the sound of Jon banging on the door.Obviously there is nothing to do in the tavern in the morning! !

Well, I was wrong, I do have a lot to do.

Help Jon unload first, there are ingredients for today, and some sundries.

I have to say that Jon is awesome, he deserves to be a qualified boss!He can stand with his arms folded and watch a 10-year-old unload his cargo, which is what he calls: exercising.

Then help Mrs. Mary prepare ingredients in the back kitchen.Lady Mary appeared to be an elderly woman in her fifties who lived on the other side of the pier, and Jon hired her to work in the tavern for fifty thousand berries a month.

Why doesn't Lady Mary seem to like the way I look, though?

Has been busy until noon to eat.

Yes, that's right, in Jon's tavern, only two meals a day are provided.My current body is only 10 years old, it's time to grow my body, okay!
No, I have to figure it out myself.

1492/2/8

Every afternoon is the busiest time for the tavern.A new commercial road has recently been opened near Hongmu Island, and merchant ships often come to the island to replenish and rest.

It's a pity that there are no special products on this island. The "redwood" that gave Redwood Island its name is a big red tree that grows in the jungle. The wood is loose and difficult to cultivate.

Most people on the island still rely on fishing for their livelihood.

1492/2/10

The plan to get newspapers fails because Jon never buys newspapers!
The "big event" happening far away in the sky has nothing to do with Jon, but the nearby information, the sailor who comes to the tavern to drink and brag will tell him.

Jon's philosophy of survival blew me away.

Listening to the sailors in the tavern bragging and chatting at night can always get a lot of information.

In fact, this world lacks means of entertainment. Sailors wandering in the sea drank a little wine and wanted to pour out all the contents of their stomachs as a bragging capital.

I behaved very low-key and never took the initiative to ask questions.

I can't keep a low profile. This world doesn't seem to be what I thought it was at first, and my personal strength seems a little too high.

As long as I live in this world, there will always be opportunities to know what I want to know, and I don't have to rush.

1492/2/12

Today, my "little bed" plan was finally achieved!

In the past few days, Jon saw that I was "reasonably" diligent in doing things, so he gave me some quilts and told me: "Li Cha, work hard, in the future..."

Gan, is this beating a worker?It's been a long time since I experienced it.

I found wooden boards to spread in the room, although it is still a bit crude, but it can be regarded as a bed.

After being in this world for a week, I finally have a bed of my own.

o (╥﹏╥) o
1492/2/20

Recently, under my "unremitting efforts", my relationship with Mrs. Mary has been very good.

After all, who wouldn't love a kid who's hardworking, understanding, and lovable?
Well, there is nothing to be ashamed of using one's own advantages, but this method of pinning on others' sympathy is still too unreliable.

I need to grasp the right to speak as soon as possible!

Lady Mary didn't like me because I frustrated her wish for a raise.

Hehe, let us curse the evil exploiters together~
My relationship with Mrs. Mary has progressed rapidly because of talking bad about Jon together, but I usually just listen, occasionally agree, and don't comment.

1492/3/10

Today, while Jon was scowling at the counter again, I suggested that I might be able to help.

Under Jon's distrustful gaze, I took the ledger.

Hey, Jon actually still uses the journal bookkeeping method.

Ten minutes later, Jon changed his mind.

There is a panel to enter notes, and a calculator is also included. In fact, it only takes less than 1 minute.

So I have one more job content in the future: after closing the door every day, I will be responsible for accounting the bills.

1492/4/6

It has been two months since I came to this world, and I have to say that the situation in this world is very strange.

The Red Earth Continent and the Great Route are like two rings on this planet, dividing the seas on this planet into four major seas: east, west, north, south.

Hey, this red earth continent doesn't look like the result of natural evolution.

I am currently in Hongmu Island in the East China Sea. It is said that compared with the other three sea areas, the security situation in the East China Sea is better.

At present, the largest force in the world is the world government, which was created by 800 kings (the ancestors of the Tianlong people) 20 years ago. There are many alliance countries, and the world navy under its command is responsible for maintaining the order of the sea.

Because the pirate power has become more and more rampant recently, the power of the navy has also grown accordingly.

In general, pirates still exist that everyone shouts and beats.

But the above is not the point, the point is that the level of personal force in this world is really high!

Without science at all, exercise can improve?

The scale of this improvement is too big! !
My current properties panel is:

Name: Richard

年龄：10岁5个月2天20小时13分42秒

Constitution: 1.1
Power: 0.9
Agility: 1
Intelligence: 9
Status: healthy
Thanks to my friendly relationship with Mrs. Mary, I now go to the back kitchen when I am hungry, and I eat five meals a day at most.

I remember very clearly, I didn't eat this much before!
I am only ten years old now, but my physical fitness is about to surpass that of an adult man!

Is this really normal?
The world is weird.

1492/4/7

My strategy needs to be changed. I originally thought that this is a civilized society, and I will first find a way to make money, and then slowly travel around the world.

If possible, maybe I can start a family, find a gentle and virtuous wife, raise a few children, and spend this life slowly.That's not a waste of life.

But now it seems that I can't even guarantee my own life safety!

What if you encounter pirates when you go out to sea?By the navy?It would be better if I stayed on this mahogany island for the rest of my life.

And staying on the island is not necessarily safe. There is a commercial road nearby, and merchant ships often dock.Although the island's economy has prospered visibly with the naked eye, there are almost no guards on the island. Isn't this the fat in the eyes of pirates?

It's just that the business road is newly opened, maybe the pirates haven't noticed the situation here.But when the pirates come to the island one day, how can I resist?
I see that the arrest warrant states that no matter whether they live or die, these pirates are all desperadoes! !
Therefore, the top priority is to increase personal force!

"What? Do you want to ask if there are any books on swordsmanship?" Jon looked at Li Cha in surprise.

"Yes, Uncle Jon, I want to learn swordsmanship." Li Cha said seriously.

Swordsmanship, this is Li Cha's choice after careful consideration.

Although I heard that there are people in this world who don't need weapons and can cross the sea with their own fists, but if they have weapons, why don't they use them?

The ancient boxing techniques that have been passed down on the earth all have special routines for holding weapons. There must be a world of difference in lethality between armed and unarmed.

As for why those boxers don't use weapons?Well, there are many reasons, anyway, it is definitely not because of Wude.

As for why swordsmanship was chosen, of course it was because most people used swords in the sea.

Any sailor of any kind can use both hands.The acquisition of weapons and sword skills are definitely much easier than other Qimen weapons, and they can improve their strength the fastest.

There are also firearms in this world, Li Cha has also done some research.With a flintlock musket, after firing a shot, don't you have to draw your knife again.

"Well... there was a swordsmanship dojo on the island before, and when the boss came to drink in the tavern, he bragged to me about how good his swordsmanship was..." Jon recalled. .

"Then why isn't his gym open?"

Li Cha had inquired about it before, and that kendo gym closed a year ago.

"I can't drive anymore. There were very few people who went to him to learn swordsmanship, and Guisaburo Mizuta was also a drunkard. He got drunk all day long. In the end, he even mortgaged his ancestral swordsmanship cheats to me as money for drinking. The last time I saw him, I heard that he would rely on his swordsmanship to go out to sea. Now, he is probably buried in a corner of the sea." Jon touched his chin and said.

Li Cha knew that every time Jon touched his chin, he wanted to kill someone.

"Can you give me that kendo cheat book?" Li Cha's expectant eyes were not fake.

"Hey, I want to leave this cheat book to my son as a family heirloom."

【Heh, you don't even have a wife, what a shitty family! 】

But Li Cha didn't speak, just watched Jon's performance quietly.

"Uh... Let's see, I was planning to pay you next month. If you want this swordsmanship cheat book, you won't be paid within this year." Jon was still stingy as always.

"Okay." Li Cha agreed.Anyway, Jon didn't know that Li Cha's small coffers had already been filled by Bailey.

Jon didn't expect Li Cha to agree so readily, which made Jon feel a little astonished, but he didn't say much.

Li Cha originally thought that Jon would go back to his room to get the "cheat book", but he didn't expect Jon to bend down, pick out a book full of oil from the corner of the bar and throw it to Li Cha.

【Gan, this is your "family heirloom"? ? 】

【Pass it to your son and put it on the table?】

"Remember to return it to me after reading it. This is the 'cheat book' for changing a case of wine."

Li Cha really wanted to ask him, won't your face turn red when you say this?

Rao is that Richard had already expected Jon's stinginess, but Jon still refreshed Richard's cognition again.

After taking the "cheat book" handed down from his ancestors, Li Cha didn't say much, and went back to his small room.

【Hope, this "cheat book" won't disappoint me. 】

　In terms of setting, although the protagonist has heard of the anime "One Piece" before, he has never watched it.And now it is 1492, Roger has not yet conquered the great route, and the title of One Piece has not been spread across the sea, so Richard did not think that this is the world of One Piece.
