Return!

"Da Mao, I officially appoint you as the chief sailor of the Egg Dog for the time being. You'll be responsible for..." Gou Dan glanced at the duty roster, then cleared his throat before continuing. "Under First Mate Wang Ye's leadership, you'll be in charge of the carpentry and sailor duties. You'll maintain and repair the anchors, cables, loading equipment, and so on; lead the sailors in handling painting, sails and rigging, high-altitude work, overboard operations, lifting, steering, and other seamanship tasks. Your regular salary will be four thousand points a month, plus a daily subsidy of two hundred points when we're at sea."

The points naturally referred to the shared points of the Players' Alliance. It was a points system everyone had imitated Gondolin to establish together in the end.

"Understood, Captain!" The honest-looking burly man nodded and bowed in response, but then he put on a bitter expression and said, "Captain, could we not call me that name? Just call me John."

"John..." Gou Dan frowned at once. "Everyone here has the same sort of name. They're either John or Jack. There are already several Johns aboard. How am I supposed to tell you apart? If you don't like it, then since you're Da Mao, I'll call you Da Gou from now on!"

"Then... just keep calling me Da Mao..." the burly man said mournfully.

Gou Dan nodded in satisfaction. "Next is Er Mao. You'll serve as the number-one sailor, responsible for steering, arranging the sailors' watch roster during voyages, and handling overtime maintenance and upkeep. San Mao will serve as the number-two sailor, responsible for handling cables, raising and lowering the gangplank, and various Deck Department tasks..."

The other sailors hurriedly responded as well. Unlike the chief sailor, none of them voiced any objection to their names,
