Chapter 181 News from the Seven Water Islands
Ye Yan went to sleep. Night watchmen also need sleep, but they can easily become alert in the middle of the night and cannot fall asleep for unknown reasons, so naps are very important to them.
Because of the time difference between the two, although it is now past six in the evening, it is actually the time for Ye Yan to take a nap. I wonder if this can be considered as jet lag.
He still took on the responsibility of keeping watch. Anyway, Zhang Daye and the others would not go to bed so early, and they still had training tasks to do in the evening. He could just wait until Ye Yan woke up and then let him keep watch for the second half of the night.
The space on the ship is limited, so it is very inconvenient to run, but Zhang Da will never relax his leg exercises - he definitely does not want to become the kind of guy with a big upper body and thin legs.
So he took Rui Mengmeng to find the magic weapon on the boat, two spinning bikes, which are actually pedal-operated human-powered generators. They generate electricity in the same way as riding a spinning bike. They can be used for exercise and generate electricity, which is very useful for physical fitness enthusiasts like them.
At least there is no problem in supplying electrical appliances such as lights and refrigerators on the ship.
In addition, the water pumping device is also made into a foot-operated one. The pumped water is supplied to faucets in various parts of the cabin after desalination and disinfection.
After riding the spinning bike for almost two hours, an ordinary person would probably be exhausted, but Zhang Daye and Rui Mengmeng just felt bored. They were so bored that they each put a book on the handlebars and turned the page from time to time.
After the energy was fully accumulated, Zhang Da also started to draw lots, and what he got were ordinary clothes and furniture from the world of Ace Inspector.
Think about it, that world looks like an ordinary modern society. Even if there are monsters, most of them maintain their human appearance and live a life no different from ordinary people. There has never been any magical weapon that is so powerful that it can defy the heavens.
After completing basic physical training, Zhang Da went to the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall covered a large area, with an open space in the middle and weapon racks and protective gear on both sides.
Shark Chili was repeating his punching movements in a very methodical manner, probably the training method of Fishman Karate.
Zhang Da has seen it many times, but every time he sees the look of Shark Chili's hands, he feels that he is suitable for the starting posture of Wing Chun.
Without disturbing Shark Chili, Zhang Da and Rui Mengmeng each chose a sword to practice.
Swordsmanship instructor Altria is not here. She is drinking tea and keeping watch with Tom on the observation deck.
It was not until about eleven o'clock in the evening that Ye Yan woke up and came out to change shifts. At this time, he took off the mushroom suit and changed into the casual clothes that Zhang Da gave him. Don't say it, Ye Yan is actually quite handsome when he is not acting weird.
"Then I'll leave it to you next. By the way, this is for you." Zhang Da also handed Ye Yan a booklet.
"What is it, a martial arts secret book?" Ye Yan took the booklet and saw four neatly written Chinese characters "Sunflower Manual" on the cover.
Ye Yan took a deep breath and bowed exaggeratedly: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhang would be such a ruthless person. I admire you! But although I like performance art, I have no intention of self-harming."
"What are you thinking about? The name on the cover is just random. The content inside is common sense about this world. Take a good look at it when you have time." The book was proposed to be compiled by Shark Chili, and it was specially prepared for newcomers. When it came to naming it, Zhang Da also wrote "Sunflower Book".
Ye Yan opened the book doubtfully, and did not see any words like "If you want to practice this skill..." Instead, he saw a very serious table of contents, which contained very comprehensive geographical knowledge, biological knowledge, humanities knowledge, etc.
However, they all contain very basic things, and each chapter is marked with 'For details, please refer to "xxxx"'.
Reference books and newspapers are now kept in the ship's library and are available at any time.
"That's very thoughtful." Ye Yan climbed up to the observation deck with the book.
There was no conversation that night. At least Zhang Daye and the others slept soundly. However, Ye Yan was a little unlucky.
When Ye Yan was called to eat in the morning, he walked into the cabin wrapped in a quilt and sniffling, "What kind of weather is this? How did it turn into winter in an instant? I'm freezing to death... A-choo!"
" Mengmeng , help him make a bowl of ginger soup." Zhang Da also handed the tissue to Ye Yan.
“Okay.” Rui Mengmeng went back to the kitchen to boil water and cut ginger into shreds. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup is very effective in preventing colds. Mainly because it is cheaper than buying cold medicine, Rui Mengmeng knows how to make it.
Of course, some people don’t like the taste of ginger soup and invented ginger cola, which has a similar effect.
Zhang Da also asked: "The weather problem is written in the book, didn't you see it?"
Ye Yan complained: "I just saw the geographical location of the Grand Line, which is roughly equivalent to the equator on Earth. God knows why the equator is so cold."
"Isn't the location of the Grand Line on the first page?" Shark Chili remembered it clearly, "Turn the page and you can see the weather information."
Zhang Da also looked at him strangely: "So you only read one page in one night?"
"Ha...ha..." Ye Yan laughed awkwardly. Reading was torture for him. This genius night watchman was actually a poor student. He put all his efforts into cultivation and performance art.
In terms of studying...if he wants to pass the exam, he almost needs Huang Xiaoyan to supervise him with a sword in hand, otherwise he will give up within five minutes.
As he was talking, the flag demon Jin Erpeng ran into the restaurant excitedly: "Master, I caught a bird to nourish your body! Look at this bird, isn't it strange? It has a lot of newspapers and coins on it!"
"Puff!" Zhang Daye sprayed a mouthful of soy milk on Jin Erpeng's face, "Let go! Let go! That's the newspaper gull!"
Jin Erpeng looks like an eagle demon. With his good eyesight and flying speed, catching a bird is not a problem. But if you eat the newspaper gull and Morgans writes it down in his little notebook, you may not be able to read newspapers in the future. There are only so many sources of information in the vast ocean, and being isolated from the world is a very troublesome thing.
The poor newspaper gull had a look of despair on its face when it was snatched away by Zhang Daye. It thought it was going to die after having its neck strangled for so long.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's all a misunderstanding. It's the first time he sees a newspaper gull and he doesn't understand the situation." Zhang Da also comforted him and explained to Ye Yan and the others that this was equivalent to a postman. Then he asked Tom for a bag of dried fish to give it as an apology.
The newspaper gull was very smart. After taking back the bag of newspapers and the cash box, it did not show any anger. Instead, it took out a newspaper and seemed to ask them whether they wanted to buy it.
Zhang Da also took out a 100 Bailey coin and said, "Give me two."
"It's a very smart animal. I would believe it if you said it was a monster." Ye Yan watched the newspaper gull fly out of the cabin.
"Please take a good look at that book. This kind of thing is also written in it." Zhang Da also unfolded the newspaper. The headline was about the Seven Water Islands they were going to:
"Miracle! The fourth track of the Sea Train has been laid successfully and will be open to traffic soon!"
