Infinity Armament

Book 5: Chapter 47: Annoying Parrot



When they came back to The Rover, it was late, but in order to seize the time, Shen Yi still ordered the fleet to start day and night. Prior to departure, they hijacked the five adventurer ships and shipped all cargoes to their own ships. Shen Yi intended to use the other party’s ship directly as disguises. Unfortunately, Bloody Crest told him that if he forced captains and sailors to relocate, it would reduce their loyalty.

Steering the ships would ultimately depend on these sailors, so Shen Yi could only give up this plan.

The Rover sailed in the wind and soon separated from Cassia and headed towards the remote unknown coast.

In the night sea breeze, The Rover's cabin was still brightly lit.

Five people of team Break Blade were discussing the next action plan.

“According to the information provided by Tia Dalma, the Fourth Brethren Court will soon be held in the Shipwreck City. Tia Dalma originally commissioned Barbossa to collect those tokens for her. Of course, this commission is still valid, but she entrusted it to us too. For Tia Dalma, putting all eggs in one basket was never a good idea."

"So what do we do?"

"We need to get at least three Pieces of Eight, and I don't think that if we can get all tokens through a Brethren Court like Barbosa. In the adventurer's world, fighting is always the best way to achieve the goal, but then again, the Fourth Brethren Court is still our best way to obtain a token, after all, we don’t have time to search for so many Pirate Lords. If conditions permit, before entering the Shipwreck Island, we should try to weaken them as much as possible."

Shen Yi said, fingering a line on the chart: “Look here, this route is the road that one of the nine Pirate Lords, Sao Feng, must pass through. If we can kill him, we can first obtain an important token to ensure the basic needs, and secondly, we can weaken the opponent and prepare for the battle after entering the Shipwreck City. If time permits, we can kill a few more. The more we kill, the easier the next fight will be."

Sao Feng was the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea. In the movie, he was portrayed by Chinese actor Chow-Yun Fat, but in here, his appearance was different.

"Why should we start with him first?" Jin Gang asked, "If it is possible to choose, I'd rather face him last."

"Why?" Hong Lang asked no questions.

Jin Gang explained: "I'm a fan of Chow Yun-Fat when I was young."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Everyone laughed.

"What is Chow Yun-Fat?" the parrot landed on Shen Yi's head.

Shen Yi grabbed the parrot on the ceiling and laughed: "Well, we shouldn't bring the past feelings to the present world. Sao Feng is not Chow Yun-Fat. The reason why I chose him is that he possesses the Mao Kun Map… So if we can bring back the map of the world's end, Tia Dalma will pay for it as much as a Piece of Eight. Honestly, I think we suffer a loss from this deal, but unless we choose this world as our homeworld, the Mao Kun Map will not have any meaning for us except exchanging for 300 Glory Points."

"That is to say, if we can kill at least two Pirate Lords before the Brethren Court and grab their tokens and maps of the world's end, we have already completed the minimum need, then we don't have to go to the Shipwreck City?"

"Yeah." Shen Yi drew several straight lines on the chart, marking the route they were about to go through.

When Hong Lang and others carefully looked at the speed and time, Jin Gang whispered, “The time is a bit tight.”

Shen Yi said indifferently: "If we just want to complete the Writ of Black Wanted quest, it will not be too difficult, but if we want to get more, it will be difficult to say. The difficulty of this mission will be determined by our greed… and destiny.”

Suddenly there was a buzzing noise on top of the head:

"I'm destiny! I'm destiny!"

That's the parrot.

"This guy is really annoying."

Shen Yi clutched the parrot's neck, said to him: "Without my permission, you better learn to shut up!"

"This one doesn't think so." The parrot fully showed its stubborn and unyielding personality.

"Then you are imprisoned."

Shen Yi then stuffed it into the cupboard. The parrot still refused to accept it. It yelled and shouted in the locker, so Shen Yi threw the PDA to its head.

The parrot finally did not make any noise.

Shen Yi continued to discuss the details of implementation issues with Jin Gang and others. This kind of pre-war discussion has become a habitual method of team Break Blade, and it gradually formed by Shen Yi. In the days to come, this style of planning and action would become the team's main operational ideas.

There is no wisdom in the world that can provide insight into everything, but meticulous planning and preparation can replace omniscience and become the first element of success and victory.

Everyone's discussions were fierce, and the controversy has cropped up. When one person proposes a combat plan, it would be protested by another person. Then that person would come up with new ideas, which unsurprisingly was protested too.

Every battle plan, in the progress of guessing and cracking methods of possible situations, was gradually shaped and matured in this kind of mutual denial and affirmation.

After discussing for more than two hours, a general plan including various possible factors finally came into being. Shen Yi finally exhaled: "Well, the plan is set. Let's go back and rest."

Everyone nodded.

Hong Lang pointed to the cabinet: "Don't forget to pull that annoying bird out. Hey, why did it not make any sound? Don't tell me that it died by your throw."

"That cannot be, it's still a monster." Shen Yi opened the cabinet.

The parrot was crouching on the PDA, and the two wings were pulling the keyboard on the computer and muttering: "I don't believe I can't catch you. Come out if you have guts!"

Perhaps it recognized Shen Yi's appearance, there was a line on the PDA: "I'm sorry, Master, but this parrot is really annoying. Hide and seek may be the only game that can make it quiet for a while."

"…" The people were silent together.

Shen Yi closed the cabinet: "Let it be spent a night here, it seems it will not be lonely."

————————————————

The fleet re-routed towards the most bustling and busiest, which was also the most pirate-infested area. During this time, there were occasional encounters with pirate ships or British warships. The team upheld the "bully the weak, fear the strong" attitude: when they encountered a large number they would run away, when they encountered a lonely ship they rushed towards it. In the two days, team Break Blade destroyed six ships and gained 2800 BP, it could be said their luck was quite good.

"If we can continue to do so, acquiring 9000 BP for each will be much easier." Hong Lang smiled and said to Shen Yi.

"Unfortunately, luck is only luck, you can not rely on it." Shen Yi faintly responded.

Nine days have passed, and they just gained a total of 8850 BP, excluding the benefits gained from team Strike The Blood. The actual progress was far behind the standard progress.

“It seems that if we want to complete the goal of 9000 standard points for everyone, sooner or later we will have to find a bigger fleet.” Jin Gang said: “Small battles like the previous days should only be small dishes. It certainly cannot meet the standard."

"When it comes to eating …" Wen Rou interrupted: "The parrot seems to have to eat something, right?"

Everyone said: "What's wrong?"

Wen Rou pointed at the cabinet: "Who had fed it in these two days?"

Everyone looked at each other.

For a while, Hong Lang only said: "WTF, we borrow this thing to come to help fight, not a pet need to take care of."

Jin Gang also scratched his head: "I thought it should be able to find food for itself."

Luo Hao whispered: "The problem is that it was locked in the cabinet for two days."

Shen Yi walked quickly and said: "Damn, we completely forget. I hope it hasn't been starved to death."

When the locker was opened, the parrot's spirit was languishing. Even the three colorful feathers on the top of its head were pulled down. It looked at Shen Yi with tearful eyes. “This one knows my wrong. Please give this one water.”

All of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily it hasn't died it. Quick, give it some food. Right, what does the parrot eat?" Shen Yi asked.

Fatty quickly replied: "The feed is mainly millet and medlar. It's better to feed hemp seeds or suzi, but the amount should not be too much. Parrots also eat vegetables."

"Did you feed one before?"

"Yep."

The parrot yelled: "This one does not eat these!"

"What do you eat?"

“This one is an aristocrat, and this one wants to eat good food. There must be caviar, kind of lettuce, oysters, bread, and fine breadcrumbs. Drinks must be red wine."

Shen Yi looked at the parrot for a while and thought for a moment: "I accepted. Luo Hao, white scarf, a pair of knives and forks, and took out your bottle of red wine."

"This one doesn't need knives and forks! This one has this!" The parrot showed a paw.

Shen Yi gripped its neck and pinched it into Fatty's hand: "From today, you're its carer. Make sure it's always drunk. I don't want to hear this crow's sound in my ear again."

The parrot was not convinced: "This one is not a crow."

"From now on, your name is Crow."

Hong Lang patted Luo Yi's shoulder and looked at him with sympathy: "Brother, do your best."

Luo thought about his head and replied, "I think this parrot is still pretty good. I actually like it."

The parrot made a heartfelt gesture: "Finally met a friend. You can speak more than that idiot Zeus."

"You and Zeus are already familiar?" Fatty went to the kitchen with the parrot. When it came to cooking, Fatty was the second-best only to Shen Yi.

"Oh, of course, that guy is a sullen gourd. He claims is that he wants to experience human emotions. Doesn't he know that the emotional experience is something to express? Like this one, how good is it to express your emotions. …"

"So you like to imitate humans."

"No, how can this noble one need to imitate human behavior? It's just that this one has feelings similar to humans…"

"Including talkative?"

"This one is not talkative. It's human beings who are so silent…"

The sound faded away and disappeared on the other side of the boat.

The remaining four looked at each other and suddenly laughed at the same time.

Wen Rou said: "I guess they will become good friends."

"Perhaps…right, when it comes to BP standard, I don't think we need to worry too much. As long as we get rid of Sao Feng, we should soon have a large sum of BP."

"One of the Pirate Lords… I believe there will not be so weak as in the movie." Jin Gang said to himself: "I just don't know how strong he will be."

"You will know when we run into him." Shen Yi answered.

At this moment, at the outpost observation post, the call from Arias rang: "Pirates! Discover a pirate ship!"

The crew quickly rushed onto the deck.

Shen Yi and Wen Rou, while holding up the telescope to look at the distance, saw a black three-masted sailing boat coming from afar.

Just took a look and Shen Yi has called out:

"It's the Black Pearl! All the staff, be on guard!"
