Shipboard Crew Expansion

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Ocean Survival: I Have a God-Level Choice System!"

Judging from their clothing alone, these people should be natives of this world. They have different appearances, and come in all shapes and sizes. There are only six of them in total.

Upon seeing Ye Fan, their faces showed fear, and they repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Sir, please spare our lives!"

"Those horrible followers of evil gods slaughtered our entire village, killing all the men."

Hearing them speak Chinese, Ye Fan was slightly startled, but he didn't delve too deeply into it. The system must have provided the explanation directly to him, and judging from the conversation... these people should all be natives who had been harmed by that group of fallen ones.

Furthermore, through Ye Fan's own observation, he discovered that these people... were not ordinary people at all; they all seemed to be very good at cooking.

Although Ye Fan didn't want to say it this way... it was the truth. According to the information fed back by the system, these surviving natives all had pretty good cooking skills.

[(Common Level) Lu Sen: Culinary Skills (His culinary skills have reached the extraordinary standard, but he lacks sufficient extraordinary points to advance to the extraordinary level!)]

...

Ye Fan retrieved information about an old man and discovered that this person actually possessed culinary skills, but had not become a superhuman and remained at the mortal level. This discovery opened up a new world for him.

However, this is also good news, because his ship is currently short of cooks.

If he could recruit all these people onto the ship... then from now on... he wouldn't have to worry about cooking anymore, and he could be completely free of work!

Ye Fan's idea is good, but the problem he needs to be careful about is... how to ensure that they won't betray him?

[Ding! Survivors can choose to recruit crew members. Once these crew members board the ship, their respective loyalty levels will be displayed!]

Those with a loyalty level above 60 will not betray you!

Just as Ye Fan was thinking about how to deal with these people, a message suddenly popped up in front of him. After reading the contents, he was overjoyed.

I never knew it could be done like that!

Since loyalty can be displayed, things are much easier. The next step is to figure out how to get them on board.

"Huh? There are Earthlings here too?"

After walking around the iron cage, Ye Fan suddenly spotted a girl in modern clothes in the crowd. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her eyes were somewhat vacant, as if she had been quite frightened.

Upon seeing her, Ye Fan immediately began to observe her, and information quickly popped up in front of him.

[Human: Gu Lingling]

[Rank: Mortal]

"?"

"Gu Lingling? I think I've heard of her before."

The moment Ye Fan saw this name, he immediately thought of the woman who had made several deals with him before. Yesterday morning, her ship sank due to a storm, and before she died, she gave him all the valuables she had on her body.

But what I didn't expect was that I can still see her now.

And it was because of the worship of an evil god.

It's unclear whether this is a misfortune or a blessing for her.

"Who are you? Ye Fan..."

After confirming several times that the person in front of her was Ye Fan, Gu Lingling burst into tears. She hadn't expected to experience so many terrifying things in just a few days since she transmigrated to this world.

Now that she has finally met someone she knows, she has completely broken down.

She buried her head in her arms and cried very hard, yet she tried to control herself.

"Open the iron cage first."

Ye Fan chose to open the iron cage. After observing the people inside, he found that none of them were superhumans. So even if he released them, he didn't need to worry about them posing a threat to him.

After the iron cage was opened, Ye Fan spoke.

"Those followers of evil gods have been wiped out by me."

"Consider it revenge for you."

Ye Fan pointed behind him to the evil god's altar, which he had already leveled. His expression was full of righteousness. As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining natives on the island immediately knelt on the ground, expressing their gratitude.

Immediately afterward, Ye Fan pressed his advantage, inviting them aboard the ship and promising them three meals a day, a workday of no more than 8 hours, and two days off a week!

This series of moves successfully recruited these indigenous people who knew how to cook onto the ship.

[Ding! You have successfully recruited islanders Lusen, Cosen, and Huasen... onto your ship. The current crew size is (19/50)!]

Because you avenged the islanders and promised them a comfortable life, their loyalty to you has increased!

[Luxen (Loyalty 87), Cosen (Loyalty 84)...]

After a quick glance, Ye Fan discovered that none of the islanders he had just recruited had a loyalty rating of less than 80. It seemed that... those fallen ones were truly inhuman!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such high loyalty after avenging these islanders.

There were six people in total: Mori Ichi, Mori Ni... Mori Go. Their names were simple, but they moved the islanders to tears of gratitude. In their eyes, this was proof that Ye Fan had completely accepted them.

After dealing with the islanders, Ye Fan approached Gu Lingling and spoke calmly.

"Gu Lingling, if you are also willing to come aboard my ship, I will make sure you have three meals a day, but on the condition that you help with the ship's production."

"..."

There are many things to do on the ship right now, and even if Ye Fan can coordinate them well, he still needs more help.

In his view, Gu Lingling, who had a slight sense of gratitude, barely qualified to board the ship, but if she was too unloyal or refused to work after boarding, he would kick her off the ship.

There will be no pity.

"Really... Boss Ye Fan?"

Gu Lingling's cute little face was streaked with tears, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard. Ye Fan did not offer any further explanation. After she agreed to board the ship, he checked her loyalty.

[Ding! You have successfully recruited another survivor onto your ship. Their trading and chat functions are locked and cannot be opened without your permission!]

Furthermore, no one can use any item on your ship without permission!

Gu Lingling's current loyalty level is: 80.

.....

Seeing that Gu Lingling's loyalty had reached 80, and after checking the system information and discovering that he almost had the power of life and death over Gu Lingling, the last trace of worry in his heart vanished.
