After listening to Black Seagull's introduction, Juan turned his attention to this ordinary person and asked with curiosity in his voice.
"Mr. Heisenberg, where did you get this green fruit?"
"In my impression, there don't seem to be any plantations growing these things here."
Evan had already prepared his excuse. "These things are grown on a small scale in my Laboratory."
"I previously developed drugs for a group of guys named Spirit Communion Society to help them enter the state."
"They have been sending merchant ships to Asia. I don't know what method they used to bring back some seeds and fruits."
"I felt that this thing was good, so I cultivated some myself."
Evan said these are certainly not nonsense.
Spirit Communion Society also has a good influence on United States and even other areas.
And those Spirit Communication things they do always need the assistance of some hallucinogenic drugs.
Previously, their leader Alcott wanted to explore the secret of Silver Key and indeed sent a large number of caravans to Asia to investigate the truth of First Emperor Ascension.
So through these, we can perfectly connect the sources of the fresh fruits in Evan's hands.
Listening to these explanations, Juan is also sensing the fluctuations of the other party's soul and body.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Juan said with a smile.
"It seems that you are really a capable genius."
"Are you interested in joining us Smoke Gang?"
"Some believers in our gang who are not very devout at heart also need the help of some specific drugs if they want to enter a state of divine enlightenment."
"Even poor people like us who run around all year round may need your fruit to refresh us."
Hearing Juan speak directly to grab someone, Black Seagull on the side suddenly became anxious.
"Vasquez Boss, you can't do this!"
"This is my new brother."
"He also expressed his willingness to join us Brotherhood."
After hearing Black Seagull's words, Evan still asked forcefully.
"When did I agree to join your gang?"
"I only remember what I just said, I will stay out of the limelight at sea for a while, and then I will return to the mainland."
Hearing that Evan was so disrespectful made me feel guilty.
Black Seagull's sunburned face suddenly turned pale, and the depths of his eyes were full of anger and fear.
The object of irritation is naturally Evan.
The object of fear is naturally Juan.
After all, the fleets led by Brotherhood and Juan had had several conflicts before.
Although the two sides fought back and forth every time.
But Juan's mysterious and powerful method left a deep impression on Black Seagull and others, and even Shadow.
Several brothers of Black Seagull died at the hands of Juan.
Later, their gang couldn't stand it anymore, so they took the initiative to find Juan to sue for peace, and then the two parties reached a certain degree of cooperation, and this was considered a period of peace.
Black Seagull, as a fairly smart guy among Brotherhood, has several times conveyed messages and negotiated matters to Juan on behalf of his boss.
So I became familiar with Juan.
Although several of his dead brothers were killed by Juan.
But now Black Seagull has no hatred for Juan, only admiration.
After all, in his cognitive view, no matter whether you are a brother or not, as long as you are not strong enough or ruthless enough, you deserve to die.
A powerful and mysterious person like Juan is naturally qualified to be respected by himself.
But the premise of all this is not to hinder your own interests.
Facing the anxious Black Seagull, Juan ignored him and looked at Evan with a smile.
"So your answer is?"
Evan said with a smile, "There is still a long time to come, and we still have opportunities to cooperate."
"After all, I have promised Brother Garp to follow Black Seagull to do a favor, so naturally I can't break my promise."
It sounds like Evan is very honest, Juan didn't say much and said with a smile.
"Okay, I look forward to your change of heart in the future."
After that, Juan turned around and led the crew to continue the work.
At this point, Black Seagull breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said to Evan in a trembling voice.
"Dear Mr. Heisenberg, I didn't expect you to be so loyal!"
"Thank you so much for today!"
Evan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Where shall we live?"
It seems that I have been on this ship Black Seagull several times, and it looks very familiar to me.
"Mr. Heisenberg, please come this way!"
Then Black Seagull took Evan to the cabin from the side stairs.
The entire cabin is only about two meters high. The moment you get down, you can feel a rush of moisture and moisture coming towards your face.
This water vapor is also mixed with the sour smell of sweat, musty smell, and the smell of some spoiled food.
This smell flowed into the nasal cavity, making Evan's throat squirm, and he almost spit it out when he turned around.
Black Seagull explained with some embarrassment, "Sir, just hold on for a few days, that's all."
"This ship was not a passenger ship before, but a pure cargo ship."
"In order to facilitate the transportation of people, the living quarters are also changed from the cargo hold."
"So the ventilation effect is not very good."
Black Seagull said with Evan, walking all the way to the left along the dark and damp cabin.
Then we came to a cabin.
It can be seen that this cabin was previously loaded with cargo.
At this time, the two sides of the cabin were covered with temporarily placed wooden boards one above the other.
On this wooden board, a layer of temporary canvas was laid.
In the huge space, there were only four portholes the size of a human head on both sides, barely letting in a few murky rays of light.
There are two Kerosene Lamp hanging from the beams in the center of the room.
At this time, as the ship's hull swayed from side to side, the dim yellow light swept back and forth, illuminating patches of moldy black spots.
Seeing this scene, Evan frowned to the extreme.
"Are you sure this isn't a place for black slaves?"
Black Seagull grinned and said, "Sir, this place is much better than where the black slaves lived!"
"When I was on the sea before, I saw many slave ships on the bottom of the sea."
"The ones they live in are not beds, but cages."
"Everyone is squeezed into an extremely narrow compartment, less than half a meter."
"Don't say you can't even sit up when you stand up!"
"The way to give them food is to pour it directly from the chute above."
"Let's put it this way, the living conditions of the dog in my house are much better than those of the niggas."
"It would be good if we can have a spacious and relatively clean place to live."
Black Seagull said, sitting on the creaking and damp canvas.
"We used to sleep tied to the mast during storms."
"The boat was overturned by waves several times, and I even survived by floating on the sea for more than ten years holding a broken wooden board."
"Since you are preparing to make a living at sea, you must gradually adapt to the conditions at sea."
Evan's face was extremely irritable at this time.
This is not an act.
In the Earth Age, as a northerner, the most annoying thing for him was humidity.
He would rather have a drier environment than sleep in a space with humidity exceeding 80%.
What's more, there is no privacy here, it's just a Datongpu where several people live together.
But fortunately, his current mental state is quite good.
"Forget it, let's think about it better?"
"Maybe we can get some delicious food to recharge Black Abyss Fruit!"
There were no surprises in what followed.
When the cargo was almost finished loading, the more than 20 young passengers also boarded the ship one after another.
A total of 25 people live in this space, which is quite spacious overall.
There was no such thing as a group of big men squeezing their bodies.
About two hours later, accompanied by a rumble of the anchor, the ship set sail smoothly.
Amidst the swaying waves, the ship's first mate Matthias came over with two fully armed crew members and said loudly.
This Hispanic man looked to be in his late thirties, and his left ear had been chopped off in half.
The muscles all over his body are bulging, and he is not tall but unusually strong.
The chin is very clean, and the eyes are fierce and sharp.
Cross is tattooed on his chest, and various skulls are tattooed on his arms.
It seems that these sailors like tattoos very much.
He casually put out the cigarette butt and Matthias shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Since you can find channels for this, you will naturally know what we do."
"If you want to reach your destination smoothly, you must abide by the relevant rules."
"First of all, no one is allowed to approach the lowest cargo hold."
"If you get hurt or die directly if you approach rashly, it has nothing to do with us."
"Don't expect your bosses to be qualified to come to our ship to investigate."
"Secondly, you are not allowed to leave the cabin after 9pm."
"The first warning, the second time I find out, I will throw you into the sea and feed you Shark."
"Also, no fighting of any kind is allowed."
"On our ship, just keep your temper!"
"Otherwise, the fate will be the same as above, just throw it out of the cabin and go to the sea to fend for itself!"
"Meals are served from 7 to 7:30, 1 to 1:30, and 8 to 8:30 every day. No wait will be done after the meal is overdue."
"If you are sick and have a fever, you can go to the ship's doctor. Any form of open defecation is not allowed, otherwise we will kill your corresponding thing directly!"
After a stern warning, Matthias left carelessly.
These low-level idle people have nothing to do when they gather together. The first thing they think of for fun is gambling.
Soon, under the instigation of Black Seagull, more than a dozen young people gathered together, took out poker cards or dice, and began to shout back and forth to Underground.
Evan has no interest in these. His attention at this time is more on the ship.
As the ship sailed, Evan's keen ears heard creaking sounds from almost all parts of the ship.
Rusted rivets, wooden planks and steel beams squeezed together... continued to make harsh squeezing and friction sounds.
That kind of whining seems to be telling you that you are about to reach your limit and can't hold on.
Evan even saw water seeping into several cracks visible to the naked eye, and the salty seawater flowed into the cabin along the rusty bulkhead.
This immediately made the corners of Evan's eyes twitch a few times.
"Can't your ship sink as fast as it sails?"
But the next second, Evan discovered that several cracks that were still seeping water just now suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, he felt a few Beyonder breaths begin to swim around the ship.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt that the ship's hull became more stable and even lighter.
The speed of the entire ship also quickly increased with the blessing of this power.
"It seems that the reason why this ship has not disintegrated is not the power of my imagination, but some kind of Beyonder power centered on Juan."
Evan, who had been planning to build his own Beyonder boat, suddenly became eager.
So he walked back and forth along the stairs on the ground floor, quickly analyzing the situation here.
"It's a bit interesting. It's not just a regular material replacement, but there are also some magic Magic Array and related matching Runes engraved in the middle."
Master's Status allows Evan to clearly see the weird and mysterious patterns drawn in the gaps between the steel beams and the joints of the wooden boards.
"It should be the ghosts restrained by these demons Magic Array that maintain the overall balance of the ship."
Evan saw that among the chaotic splicing gaps and Shadow, there were translucent pale white figures constantly swimming.
Either white bones or skinny palms, pressed on the leaking cracks, smoothed them instantly.
"These ghosts, under the control of a powerful Spirit Medium, continue to maintain the overall structure of the ship."
"The style of a sailboat, the power of a steam turbine, and the blessing of a mysterious ghost..."
"It seems that each of these ships currently making a living on the sea has its own unique skills!"
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
While Evan was thinking, a heat wave hit his face.
He saw the worker who had just entered the engine room, his hands covered with burn scars, walking over with a gloomy expression.
Evan quickly raised his hands to show that he was harmless and said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's my first time to go to sea. I'm a little curious when I see this style of boat."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Stop your curiosity and get out of here!"
Evan smiled indifferently, and then ran to the deck to see the scenery.
The next few days were quite smooth and quiet.
With strong physical fitness, Evan, who went to sea for the first time, did not suffer from seasickness.
Although all kinds of snoring sounds are loud at night, they can be called the calls of ancient gods.
But with the power of Beyonder, Evan can block unnecessary sounds and sleep fairly peacefully.
The only thing that bothers Evan is that the food here is really bad.
Three meals a day are the same as pig food, and you can even see maggots, cockroaches and other high-protein snacks in it.
In this way, a week passed quickly.
When Evan was watching the scenery on the deck, he suddenly heard the prompt on Panel.
[Incomplete Memory Authority reverse concentration completed!]
[You successfully condensed Black Abyss Fruit: Memory Worm.]
Seeing this prompt, Evan immediately raised his eyebrows and immediately focused all his attention on Panel.
He saw that in his mental space, a black substance the size of a fist was constantly squirming.
[Black Abyss Fruit, which absorbed the incomplete Memory Authority, carries the desire and greed condensed in a large number of memories.]
[It does not have any substantial attack power on its own, but it can be embedded in the target's memory through the Weaving thread.]
[When the target's main consciousness recalls this memory, the fruit holder can gain perception.]
After reading these tips, Evan felt amazed in his heart.
"It's interesting. This fruit can be said to have reversed the power of various negative effects in my body and turned me into a separate individual."
"This kind of individual has slightly weaker power than the original version, but is more flexible and convenient!"
