Here we will talk about the correspondence between star rating and "navigilance" skill value.

This series is like this: 7-star ship (10), 6-star ship (30), 5-star ship (50), 4-star ship (65), 3-star ship (80), 2-star ship (90), 1-star ship (100).

As the captain of an offshore sailing ship like the Tanta Sailing Series, with a load of less than 300 kens (15 tons), he only needs 10 sailing skills. Lu Yuan drove away from that cove with his feet on the Garland, and the increased value met the requirements! It was very relaxed and pleasant, and it was entertaining.

If you want to be the captain of the recently newly built three-layer artillery deck and a battleship equipped with 102 artillery pieces, the number of sailing you need is 100 points at a full value! Lu Yuan proved this kind of thing with his own real experience - some things are really good to think about!

*******

[You can sail the ship ingeniously and get +1 "Sailing", and the "Sailing" is increased to 30, and you can already serve as the captain of a 6-star ship.]

"Ah~ah~ah~ah~!" Hearing the prompt sound, Lu Yuan shouted with relief! Then, like an environmentalist, he took off his legs, ran naked across the hull, and jumped up at the bow of the ship! He grabbed a cable in the air, and then "thumped" into the sea. In the water. Lu Yuan closed his eyes tiredly, letting the ship drag him to sail! He sank his whole body into the sea, venting the emotions accumulated over a period of time!

It's so tired! It's so hard!

Twelve days! He drove the "Garland" alone, practicing on the sea day and night for twelve days! I remembered that he was just driving the boat with his feet. As soon as he turned out of the bay, the value of "sailing" increased to 10. The main god reminded him that he could already own it and already owned a seven-star ship! How proud he was at that time!

For a moment, his mind was dizzy, so he simply drew an S-shaped curve between Santo Domingo and Havana on Cuba Island! He drove over like this! Practice the "navigation" skills! Then change to a big ship! That's what he thought! What the result is... it's simply a disaster.

The only gain is that he finally obtained an accurate skill improvement formula through his own personal experience. This formula needs no need to be explained in detail, and it is summarized in one sentence: "When you encounter this situation, can you do the right thing?" If you can do it, you will improve the value of the skill. After you answer countless such questions correctly and use them in a comprehensive manner, you will be able to drive a sailboat smoothly - not just in this world!

The small boat is simple in structure and easy to operate. It is also known for its small and flexible and easy to use. A port citizen spends a few days studying and driving a small sailboat. Even if he crosses the reefs, he can turn around because the boat is small, which is no problem. However, as the star rating increases, the ship becomes larger and larger, and the problems encountered will become more and more complicated - from the wind receiving of the sails, the draft at the bottom of the ship, the choice of ocean currents to the structure of the ship, the arrangement of the ship load, the layout of the artillery, etc.!

When you solve all these problems and become proficient, you will naturally become a navigation expert! The navigation value will naturally be high and not reach its peak! High, it is really high! Lu Yuan had to give the main god of this world! Isn’t this the detection system he has always pursued?

***************

When it was almost midnight, Lu Yuan was sailing a small boat and sneakily approaching Havana, the most important and largest colonial city in the Caribbean.

After that bad rainy night last night, the weather seemed to finally get better today. At night, the gentle sea breeze caused a "rattle" sound of tides.

When Lu Yuan passed by the lighthouse and fortress, because his boat did not light the lights, this little bit of black shadow could not attract the attention of the patrol soldiers on the fortress. In fact, Lu Yuan found many smugglers driving in small boats. They were busy sailing out of the bay and missing their destination. The nights in Havana seemed to have an unknown prosperity. But Lu Yuan swore that he didn't want to get a kick in such prosperity...

Lu Yuan would rather choose a smaller, less complex port first, make a comfortable plan, then install some alchemy potions, and then happily start his pirate career... If it weren't for the damn "Garland" that started to enter the water last night! The only consequence of the unlucky rain last night was that the boat was finally overwhelmed... it leaked. Although Lu Yuan tried every means to repair it, the result was that the hole in the water became larger and larger, and it had reached an uncontrollable level... There was no way, he could only find a port to dock first.

Touching the darkness, Lu Yuan drove a small boat flexibly, walking among hundreds of ships large and small parked in the port. Finally, he found a place far away from the pier and was docked towards the shore.

"Bless the Jade Emperor!" When the boat was steadily stable, he jumped gently onto the shore and breathed a sigh of relief. Standing on the ground, he felt as if he was on a boat, his feet were weak, and even his sense of balance in his brain became shaking. Lu Yuan casually tied the boat's cable to a wooden stake and walked towards the port.

I need to find a place immediately and have a good sleep!

"Hey! You! That gentleman! Stop!" a young voice shouted, "Ha, finally let me catch one! Damn smuggler!"

Lu Yuan turned around slowly. As time passed, his appearance had been changed by "face change technique", and he instantly changed to the appearance of a bearded sailor!

"What's the matter?" He looked at the young man in uniform in front of him and asked with some amusement. He looked around and found that he was the only one... he dared to come to trouble the smuggler without companions? Is he impatient to live? The smuggler has the same meaning as the outlaw!

"What are you doing?" The young man took a few steps back alertly and put the thin whistle into his mouth!

"Hey! What are you going to do?!" Lu Yuan spread his hands and showed that he didn't have weapons. He didn't want to make things difficult to deal with now. "Tell me immediately, I'll find a place to take a shower and have a nap! I'm really fed up with this sticky and damn weather in the Caribbean!"

"Sir... you forgot a small thing... "When talking about what you want to say, the young man immediately began to dance, bit his tongue and pretend to be a noble accent, and said with a frivolous look on his face." You need to pay taxes. You know, the Governor has the right to tax every ship entering and leaving the port. Including... Mr. Smuggler."

"Oh...sorry, I don't have money!" Lu Yuan simply slapped his pocket, and there was no sound of a coin hitting him. "I'm clean all over my body, not a pesos or a copper coin!"

"Haha, no! God. You can't treat me like this!" The young man shouted the name of God excitedly, pulling down the musket he carried on and gestured at Lu Yuan with great force! "I stayed here for five nights! Five nights! Do you understand? You have to endure the ridicule of a whole squadron! You damn smuggler! Even if you don't have money, what about your goods?! The goods can be tax-deductible!"

"Sorry," Lu Yuan spread his hands sincerely.

"I hate it, sorry," he said depressedly with a gun.

"I met a monster on the sea! It was so huge! When the pair of dragon-like wings spread out, they covered my boat!" Lu Yuan described the shape of a flying dragon on both feet. He spoke vividly! Tension and stimulating!

"What?" asked nervously by the tax collector who was a little involved in the show...

"And then? Then it broke my formast, tore off my sails, and kicked all my cargo into the sea! Now..." Lu Yuan clapped his hands and spread out again. "I am a pauper, I am bankrupt, that's it."

"Okay, this is a good story, I can tell my mother. It sounds really legendary! Unfortunately, I don't believe it at all! You can see that you are in trouble, but I'm even more..." The young man shook his flintlock spear in frustration, stopped, and continued, "Please... please stay in the prison for a while, Mr. Smuggler. I squatted here for five days. You can't let me get nothing. Then you can write a letter to find someone to redeem you, and I can help you pass it on, if it's not particularly troublesome. If no one comes to redeem you, you may not be able to save your boat. You know, the cost of stopping ships in Havana is also the most expensive nearby! Your boat...it's better not to drag for five days."

"What are you waiting for?" Just as the young man was in a flash, Lu Yuan had already run away from his gun and turned into a holding on his shoulder. The young tax collector was shocked and was about to blow the whistle. Lu Yuan stopped his struggle. "Listen to me! Listen to me, young man! I have no malice! Look..." He gestured to the young man with a sad face, "My wife ran away with a new gay man, and no one will come to redeem me again, so..." He pointed to the Tanta sailboat of the "Garland" and came to the tax collector's ear and whispered, "Give me a gold coin! It's yours!"

The young tax collector was first confused, then shocked, then rejoiced, and finally firmly, "A silver peso! You unlucky guy!"

"Oh, okay! Jade Emperor! You are such a Grandet! Let's make a deal!" After the transaction was completed, Lu Yuan threw away the silver peso he had just obtained and walked into the port staggeringly. But for some reason, he turned around and asked again, "What's your name? Young man."

"Doug!" He replied happily, focusing on his own ship! At least in this world, the transaction of ships is not such a troublesome thing. As long as both parties agree, the name of the ship has been changed in its attributes, but Lu Yuan is too lazy to take pictures of the appraisal technique.

"Doug? There are so many people calling Doug recently." Lu Yuan remembered the tough old guy named Doug? Su Dong XX. "What's Doug? If it's convenient..."

The young man didn't seem to mind being known to his full name, and said cheerfully, "Dog? Sir! The best stormtrooper in Havana, Sir? Sir!"

"Um..." Lu Yuan made a thoughtful look, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it! Okay, goodbye, young man! Doug? Follow, you have a good boat now!" He continued to walk towards the port area, muttering quietly. "If tomorrow has not sunk..."

"But Doug? Shou and... Dragon Dog? I always feel like I've heard of this name somewhere... Could it be a historical celebrity?"

The young man's hearty laughter came from afar, "No smuggler can escape me Doug? Let's talk about these eyes! Oh hahaha!"

Lu Yuan suddenly felt chill all over... I must have had a cold!

************

The port of Havana, Spain, is also the largest port in the entire Caribbean Sea.

It can be simply divided into three parts, the port area, the city area and the fortress area. A long brick wall encircles these three and extends to the seaside. But this is only the primary protection. It was originally intended to prevent the Indians from attacking. What really works is the Morro Fortress built with the big lighthouse! The fortress is built on the cape, one bunker after another, a fort, a battery and a moat system, forming the famous Morro Fortress, tightly blocking the Havana port!

Any war attempting to attack Havana's port from the sea must first withstand the strike of the fortress artillery group! However, these are just a little bit of the shallow impression of Havana. At night, I can't see the specific appearance of Havana at all, and I lack the mood to appreciate it. Now the whole city looks like a black beast crawling there, and the burning lighthouse is undoubtedly the eyes of this demon from hell...

No beauty.

It was similar to what I imagined. When Lu Yuan walked into the port area and the narrow dark alleyway, he encountered drunk sailors, and the houses around him were all dark and bright. The only bright ones were bars and taverns. They hung a wind lamp under their signs, which became the only bright place in every alley.

It is already midnight now, and drunken drunks are lying in the ground of the alley near the tavern. They are usually penniless except for the bottles in their hands. Therefore, even those sleepy "JinVs" standing under the lights of the tavern and waiting for guests are too lazy to go into their pockets. These "JinVs" are all nearby residents, and their husbands are usually sailors going to sea. After the husband goes to sea, he does some "side business" to supplement the family income, because men never know when they will come back... and don't know if they can bring money back when they come back, so it's better to rely on themselves.

Brothel? That kind of high-end place only exists in the city. This is a place for lowly sailors to enjoy...

After walking around the port area for a while, Lu Yuan took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to it, and easily rushed up to the roof of the alley, climbed up the second floor in one breath and got into the attic. Sure enough, as he guessed, there were a large number of sailors living in the port area. Even if they were running short distances, they would take several days to come back at a time. Lu Yuan planned to find such a sailor to live in at the attic and temporarily stayed there.

Unfortunately, he expected the beginning, but not the end.

The hygiene level of the house was beyond his imagination, forcing him to jump off the second floor in a mess, and he had to constantly slap the lice on his body!

Helplessly, Lu Yuan walked around the most prosperous alleys nearby and finally plucked up the courage to walk under the front light called "Helende Bar". He did not push the door open, but just looked at the light. The young woman who looked very beautiful nodded and asked shyly, "Can you know you?"

The young woman raised her head from the wrapped scarf and looked at the young man in front of her! Although Lu Yuan was trading with the tax collector, he whispered a young man at that time because he looked like a middle-aged and strong man. Now, he has changed his appearance back to his own appearance. In the dark night, his face was not so conspicuous.

The image of a woman after she looked up also made Lu Yuan feel instantly amazed. Her skin as white as milk, brown eyes, bright blonde hair under the lamp, and a firm and small nose. This was a peerless beauty! How could she be in such a place? When a woman saw him, she laughed openly, making Lu Yuan, who was "zhaoji" for the first time, feel ashamed and almost wanted to escape in panic!

"Look at how you look... are you rich?" The woman's voice sounded very nice. At least Lu Yuan was confused now. Looking at the beauty under the lamp, everything was fine.

"Me," Lu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, "I only have one silver peso... Ah, I'm sorry, it may have misunderstood you. I... just want to find a cleaner place and have a good sleep! No need... anything else. You know, I look so down and out because I've been struggling on the sea for several days... I hardly slept much."

"Okay!" The woman seemed relieved. She packed her scarf and stood up quickly, pulled Lu Yuan's arm to the dark outside, "A silver peso... I can prepare a bed for you to make sure it is clean, my brother uses it. There is also breakfast tomorrow... but you must make sure to leave before noon. Is it OK?"

"No problem, I promise!" Lu Yuan looked back and saw that there was no woman waiting under the light now... "Oh, can you ask? Why...you know, you look so...beautiful! Why is it the last one?"

"Come on, since you are looking for me, of course you know why!" The woman said in a low voice, dragging Lu Yuan away faster.

"I...I really don't know, you know, I just arrived in Havana...If it weren't for the heavy rain, I might have driven to the Inca Empire."

"Don't mention there!" The woman smashed his arm with a smack. Lu Yuan turned his head in surprise and happened to see the woman lifting up the turban angrily and staring at him with wide eyes, "Look at the color of my eyes! And the look of my ears! Did you see it?"

Lu Yuan looked at her big eyes that were so pure that it was almost transparent, and her small earlobes displayed under the moonlight. Lu Yuan's perverted vision, even the thin fluff on the ear beads could be seen clearly, and was shocked immediately, "See! It's indeed very beautiful." Lu Yuan said in a low voice, and deeply felt guilty about the price of his silver peso. Otherwise... give her the gold treasure chest? But can she see that thing?

"I am an illegitimate child! The product of a white man having sex with the native Indians! Dirty non-human blood flows on his body! God! Even those white men will not come to me even if they look for a white sow! It is possible unless they drink too much! Even those same dirty black slaves are hiding from me... This is why I am always the last one! Are you satisfied?! Indian beasts!"

The woman finished roaring angrily, with tears in her eyes, but she made a gesture of hugging her head.

Obviously, she thought there was a violent beating next.

Lu Yuan was not angry. He just grinned, "Sorry, it may have made you misunderstand. But I am not an Indian!" Lu Yuan stretched out his hands and showed them in front of the woman under the moonlight. "Look at my hands, are there rough marks? Look at my face and body, there are tattoos and chalk outlines? I come from the far east, do Ming Kingdom know? The largest country in the world! (The Ming Dynasty had already perished at this time, but Lu Yuan would never mention the braided country) I am a Han! The Han people are the greatest nation in the world! There are tens of millions of yellow-skinned people in our place."

The woman opened her mouth wide, opened and closed it a few times, but didn't know what to say. At this time, several more drunkards came out of the alley. She immediately covered her headscarf on her head, wiped away her tears quickly, pulled Lu Yuan and whispered, "Come with me quickly, they are bad guys!"
