"Isn't this kind of thing easy to solve? Since we have to negotiate for compensation as outsiders, why don't you just become our partner? If we are all in the same boat, it is only natural to help our brothers!"
"So, he will be our crew member from now on!"
"Behave like a senior and take good care of the newbies, you bastards!"
Ah? I'm a newcomer?
Listening to Drake's words, Lin Qi's brain suddenly froze as he had never expected the situation to develop like this.
"Oooo!"
"It's a newcomer! We've been looking forward to having new people join us!"
"Hurry up and pull the cute newbie over here so I can see her!"
......
All the pirates looked at the little newbie being hugged by the big sister with shining eyes. Their ferocious and wolf-like looks made Lin Qi freeze.
Make no mistake, this is not the tradition of the British Empire.
In fact, their thoughts are more like they are bored and looking for big guys who don't exist in the world to lead newbies...
......
I can't hold on any longer. If there are any problems, I will correct them tomorrow...2
Chapter 41 Welcome Party
The Pirates seniors were very enthusiastic.
So the celebration party seemed to be developing in the direction of a welcome party...
"Come here, little newbie! Now that you've joined, you must be able to sing. Let me teach you how to sing as a pirate!"
A big-nosed pirate excitedly came to the front and pulled Lin Qi to his seat.
“But I can’t sing…”
"Hey, that's why I'm teaching you. Don't worry, pirate songs are easy to remember!"
"Is it possible that I don't like singing either..."
Lin Qi looked embarrassed, as he had never sung in front of others before.
"Oh, you heard it too, little Meng Xin doesn't like singing!"
The other bearded pirate's eyes lit up and he immediately grabbed Lin Qi's other arm.
"Since you don't like singing and we're at a party, why don't you learn the pirate dance from me? What's a party without dancing?"
As he spoke, the bearded pirate performed a few dance steps in the same way.
"Bullshit! What's the point of learning your boring dance? Go away, don't stand in my way and stop me from developing a relationship with the newcomer!"
The big-nosed pirate widened his eyes and patted the bearded pirate's hand that was holding Lin Qi.
Indicate to him to go back to where he came from.
"Huh? You still have the nerve to say my dance is boring? Which of our brothers doesn't say I dance well? And I haven't even mentioned your hoarse voice yet!"
The bearded pirate immediately became angry and started pointing at the big-nosed pirate's face.
"That's because the brothers are embarrassed to say that to you! Your dancing stinks worse than my grandma's boots!"
The big-nosed pirate also became furious when he heard this.
"Hey~ya~, I guess you don't know how powerful I am! Elbow, go out and practice with me!"
"Just practice! Whoever shoots whoever shoots who!"
The two of them were obviously angry. They let go of Lin Qi's hands and pushed each other as they walked outside.
"Ohhhh! Fight, fight!"
The pirates who were watching the fun nearby clapped their hands excitedly.
"Hey, since you guys don't care about the newbie, I'll take him to play finger-guessing game!"
A pirate with big gold teeth suddenly grabbed Lin Qi with a strange smile and ran to his seat without saying a word.
"Good boy! You actually have such an idea - should we kill him first?"
The bearded man, who had good hearing, turned around suddenly and saw this scene, and his anger was immediately diverted.
Then he turned around and tried to reach a cooperation with Big Nose.
"Fuck him first!"
Big Nose chose to join the Bearded Man without hesitation.
After the two reached an agreement, their eyes lit up, and after a run-up, they pounced and knocked Da Jin Ya to the ground before he had run far.
"Stop it! You can't do this!"
Da Jin Ya, who was knocked down, was filled with fear. He dug the ground with his hands, trying to escape from the two men's restraints.
"Hey! You can't escape. You actually want to pick peaches behind us?"
"It's not that easy!"
"No, it's useless even if you catch me. There are still so many brothers here!"
“There must be someone who thinks the same as me!”
In order to ensure that his integrity would not be damaged, Da Jin Ya decisively sold out his other brothers.
The two of them realized it later and turned around to look.
Good boy! Bessie was actually holding a small notebook and talking to Lin Qi.
Looking at his excited expression, it seems that he really intends to write something based on Lin Qi’s experience!
"Be bold!"
"Good job, Bessie! You've made it!"
The two men jumped up from Big Gold Tooth and rushed back like hungry wolves that hadn't eaten for three days.
The big gold tooth at the bottom also quickly joined the battlefield again after the two left.
It was obvious that all the pirates liked Lin Qi, the newbie, and they wanted to teach him everything they liked.
But...
Lin Qi, who was being pulled and tugged by a bunch of people, already looked like he had lost all hope in life.
Faced with their enthusiasm, even Lin Qi was obviously a little overwhelmed.
After all, everyone was welcoming him and no one had any ill intentions. Lin Qi couldn't just rely on his Servant-level power to wave his arm and throw everyone away, right?
Finally, Drake couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and scolded his brothers, telling them to do what they should do.
This allowed Lin Qi to escape from the sea of suffering.
——Although later Lin Qi was forced to sing and dance with them for a while.
Having finally escaped from the enthusiastic pirate predecessors, Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief as he sat in his seat.
Lin Qi was also very familiar with this seat. It was the chair right below the hole that was created by the transfer of his spirit particle.
After a short pause, Lin Qi turned his gaze back to this somewhat shabby house where many pirates gathered.
The pirates are always in high spirits and do whatever they want.
After being scolded by Drake and forbidden to harass the newbies, they did not get angry but started to play happily.
Some eat meat with big mouthfuls and like to clink glasses with others.
Some people would use dice they had found from somewhere to gamble with others at the same table.
Many people also gathered in the open space in the middle of the house, happily dancing the pirate dance.
The pirates watching on the side accompanied them by clapping on the table and whistling.
"He set sail in a storm, thunder, rain, ghosts and carnivals~"
"Through the wind and waves, breaking the dawn..."
Of course, there are also people singing along with their beats.
Lin Qi, who saw all of this, gradually felt his impatience and uneasiness disappear.
Almost unconsciously.
Lin Qi leaned his face against the table with one hand, and with the other hand, he gently tapped the table, imitating the tune of his predecessors.
The corners of his mouth gradually raised.
A long-lost feeling of warmth filled Lin Qi's heart.
"It seems... this is what I want most?"
Lin Qi thought in a trance.
After going through so much.
If you were to ask Lin Qi what his wish is now, it probably isn't to defeat Goetia and save the world, something that seems unattainable and has almost no chance of being realized to him.
But like now.
Under the warm lights, in the cozy wooden house, there are a lot of people around me, everyone is happily talking and laughing, bragging, and playing with each other...
——In fact, they don’t have to surround me. Just put a seat for me in the corner, let me sit there, watch them having fun, and respond from time to time.
Like now.
“I really hope this time can last a little longer…”
Lin Qi savored this rare warmth, and his eyes gradually became straight.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Yo! Time to come back to your senses."
A familiar voice sounded beside me, and my shoulder was patted.
Lin Qi's empty thoughts were brought back to mind, and he found that in front of him there was a wooden wine glass with wine boiling in it.
When he turned around, he saw that the owner of the voice was already standing beside him.
"How's it going? My crew?"
Seeing Lin Qi come back to his senses, Drake grinned and raised his chin in the direction of his crew.
"They are all very interesting and good seniors, and... they take good care of me..."
Lin Qi spoke out everything without thinking at the beginning, but at the end, Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.
After all, the way of taking care of it is a bit strange...
"Hahaha, that's fine! I told you that you would get along well with them!"
Drake laughed and patted Lin Qi on the back.
"According to what you said, I also think you are a very interesting guy, otherwise I would not have let you join us."
"After all, if you want to take risks, why take them if the people on your boat all dislike each other?"
"It's better to go home and get into mom's arms!"
Lin Qi nodded in agreement.
If you want to accomplish big things, you really have to find some like-minded people with similar personalities. If there are constant internal disputes, I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish anything.
Not to mention there is such a lively atmosphere as now.
"By the way, why do I put this here?"
Lin Qi suddenly picked up the wine glass at hand and looked at Drake in confusion.
"Rum, of course I'm giving it to you. What else can I have?"
Drake looked at Lin Qi as if he was an idiot.
Isn't wine meant to be drunk? What else can it be used for?
