Long Lines at the Docks

[Appoint Fleet member "Stay Away From Gambling, Drugs, and Vice" as the Ghost Ship's Vice Captain?]

"Yes."

[Appointment successful.]

Huang Xiaowen's chopsticks paused across the table. Clearly, she had received the system notification that she had been appointed Vice Captain.

"Hm?"

Huang Xiaowen looked up, utterly baffled. "Why did you suddenly make me Vice Captain?"

Squid Ball immediately poked her head over. "Vice Captain? Then what about Titch?"

Titch, who was nearby handing out duck bones to several skeletons, turned his head when he heard his name.

Ling Chu said, "It doesn't conflict. Titch is the first mate in charge of the ship, while she's the system-recognized Vice Captain, meant to inherit the estate."

Huang Xiaowen: "?"

She suddenly felt that this Vice Captain title sounded rather unlucky. "What do you mean, inherit the estate?"

Ling Chu said naturally, "Just in case... if I die someday, the Ghost Ship can at least keep operating. The Fleet won't fall apart the moment its Captain is gone."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Squid Ball immediately set down her chopsticks. "We're eating! How unlucky is that?"

Huang Xiaowen could not help complaining as well. "Can't you say something nicer? Like, when you retire someday, I'll inherit the Ghost Ship."

Ling Chu thought about it. "That'll probably take a long time. I think I'm more likely to die at sea than retire."

Ever since entering this world, she had been prepared to die at any time.

Making it this far, strength had certainly been important, but Ling Chu knew very well that luck had also played a huge role.

Just like this time, in Death God's Game.

If the Stillness Jade had been taken out a moment later, if the Holy Crystal had not fallen
