The Captain Who Uses Map Hacks - Chapter 136

Episode 136 Within the past year (1)

It has been 171 days since setting sail for the Carmena continent.

The color of the sea changed slightly to the point where it was difficult to recognize.

However, the sailors noticed the small difference and flocked to the railing.

“hey! You idiots, get out of the way, out of the way!”

Patton made his way through the noisy crowd and stood on the bow.

He pulled out a long telescope and held it to his eye.

For one minute, I closed one eye tightly with a serious face and stared at the other telescope with all my might.

“… It’s land! “It’s Carmena Continent!!!”

Patton took off his binoculars and rushed towards me.

“Captain Lee Man-seok!! It’s finally back! “It’s been a year!!”

“To be exact, it’s been a year and a few months.”

I closed the compass, turned off the blue map core, and took over Patton’s telescope.

I pulled out the telescope and held it to my eye.

A faint golden outline glimmered in the distance on the horizon.

“What do you think, Captain?!”

“It is definitely Resian, the capital of Carmena Continent.”

I quickly folded the telescope and gave it back to Patton.

I returned to Resian, the capital of Carmena Continent.

After a long year-long voyage, I finally returned.

“Everyone get ready to dock! We’ll be docking at Resian Port soon!”

Let me calm my overwhelmed heart and command loudly.

“yes!! Captain!!”

The excited sailors gathered their mouths and repeated loudly.

* * *

Resian, the capital of Carmena Continent.

The port here was the same as it was a year ago.

A trade fleet bursts into the port.

A crowded street with no room to step.

The cargo crane moved creakingly, and the mules pulling the carts purred ceaselessly.

“Bae -a -ah — !!!”

As soon as the boat stopped, Patton shouted as loud as he could.

The loud voice was quickly drowned out by the commotion of the port.

But Patton looked refreshed.

“Ugh! “It’s been a while since I cried out and I feel refreshed!”

“Patton. Instead of watching, let’s unload the luggage first.”

There was already a check under the ship.

Two navy men and an inspector holding an accounting ledger.

He wore round-rimmed glasses on the tip of his nose and looked strict at first glance.

It gives the impression that they will pick up on even non-existent issues and end up getting fined somehow.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruk

The heavy crane moved and moved the cargo boxes.

A wooden box crashed into the loading dock.

The inspector cleared his throat and approached the loading dock.

“Who is the captain of this ship?”

“That’s me.”

The inspector looked at me suspiciously.

“name is?”

“Lee Man-seok.”

“Where are you going?”

“Gawiana Continent.”

“Foot, what? Scissors or something? It’s not even possible. “You look like a novice with no blood on your head. Are you carrying smuggled goods from somewhere?”

“If you’re really curious, open it.”

“You know that smuggling carries the maximum penalty of death, right?”

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

The inspector covered his mouth and whispered to the navy.

The Navy immediately rolled up its sleeves and grabbed the lid of the box.

Sigh—!!

Let’s just pop open the box lid.

Srrrrrr!!!

White rice poured down on the floor.

The inspector fell on his face in surprise when he saw the grains of rice.

“W-what is this?! “It’s rice, right?!”

He picked up the rice with his gloved hands and examined it with a magnifying glass.

No matter how you look at it, no matter how you look at it, it is rice.

“yes. It’s rice. “Where is the only place I can get rice?”

“Scissors… continent… !”

The inspector looked at me with a blank expression.

He looked me up and down slowly again.

“How can a kid who can’t even take off his school uniform… .”

“Well, that’s how it happened. Now, can you please close the box? If this continues, the dockside rats will eat up all my precious rice.”

The inspector continued to remain silent.

Like someone who has witnessed something impossible.

“Shall I file a claim for damages?”

“W-what are they doing?! Close it quickly! “Pick up the rice and put it in!”

The inspector jumped up in surprise and gave orders to the navy sailors.

Thanks to this, only the poor sailors had trouble picking up the rice.

“Please pack it cleanly. This is precious rice. “It’s three times more expensive than flour.”

In , rice is an expensive luxury item.

That’s because it only grows on the Scissors continent, a round trip that takes over a year.

It cannot be grown on the Carmena continent because the climate is not suitable.

“But there’s a lot more rice than I thought.”

“Oh, that? Prince Lime brought it on board.”

Patton, who was standing there watching, came up to me and smiled.

“okay? “When did the prince load it?”

“When there’s a festival. “I secretly loaded it while we were playing.”

“You’re also fast. “If you had told me, I would have helped too.”

After the rice spilled on the floor was roughly cleaned up.

The inspector cleared his throat and returned.

“This rice leak case… “It’s not our fault.”

“Then?”

“It’s because of incorrect loading! “There were traces of rats gnawing on the rice bag, so don’t even dream of paying for the damages!”

I silently became familiar with the checker’s face.

‘I’ll have to tell Princess Lily later.’

That guy probably doesn’t even know who my backstory is.

You have to pay a heavy price for treating people carelessly.

“Anyway, please finish the inspection quickly.”

“I take care of the inspection! next! “What is this box?”

I gave Patton a quick glance.

He nodded and rolled up his sleeves.

“Hmm. I will open it. Hey, get out of the way!”

Patton grabbed a crowbar and cracked open the box lid.

At that moment, something similar to the sweet smell of herbal medicine wafted into the air.

The Carmena built-in naval forces were surprised by the unit.

The checker was also shocked and pushed Patton away.

“What is this! This… !”

He picked up a dried persimmon with dusty gloves.

“It’s dried persimmon! “This box is full of dried persimmons?!”

slap!

“Uh huh. “Don’t touch it with dirty hands.”

I slapped the checker’s hand away and caught the falling dried persimmons.

Dried persimmons with snow-white flakes may look moldy to strangers, but to those who know them, they are the delicacy of delicacies.

And fortunately, this checker was someone I knew.

“sorry… do! Anyway, next box! “What is this again?”

The inspector ran away and pointed at another box.

It was about half the size of the previous two boxes, and had a handling caution mark written in large letters on the side.

“Patton, open it.”

“yes! “Captain!”

Patton opened the box again without hesitation.

The lid was almost torn open.

Saaaa… .

A white, cold fog lightly swept over the loading dock.

Inside the box was a bluish cloth.

The inspector looked at the fabric with surprised eyes.

He quietly raised the corner of his mouth in a mean manner.

“I finally found it. “Okay then!”

He took out the precious frost silkworm silk with dirty hands.

“Uh-huh, it’s an expensive item. Careful.”

“It’s expensive. “It looks fake!”

He chuckled and handled the silk roughly.

Folding and rummaging around.

There were more than a dozen strands of hair that fell loose in the wind.

“There is a smuggler organization distributing fake frost silkworm silk on the Carmena Continent, and we have finally caught up with them!”

“Is that so? “My silk is fake?”

“is it so! hey! “Bring a bucket of water!”

A naval ship rushed across Woodangtang Harbor.

In the meantime, the inspector smiled wickedly at me.

“The princess has given you a special order! “The entire smuggler organization will be punished to death!”

“If you’re a princess, Princess Lily?”

“is it so! Don’t you think about bribery or anything like that now. “I don’t even give in to a penny or two!”

“aha… .”

In short, if you want to live, just give us a bribe.

Also, please feed me a lot, not just a penny or two.

“Well, first, let’s find out if it’s real or fake.”

“There’s nothing to find out! Risking my 8 years of experience… ah! “You’re here!”

The Navy slammed a bucket of sloshing water onto the loading dock.

Hearing that sound, other people at the loading dock also glanced this way.

“ruler! “Let me prove that this silk is fake!”

The inspector threw the precious silkworm silk into the water.

“Now the cheap hair dye will come out! Take a good look!”

I crossed my arms and quietly looked into the bucket.

Patton, the Navy, the inspectors, and strangers bystanders.

10 seconds. 20 seconds. 30 seconds. 1 min. Two minutes have passed… .

“Is the color of the water the same?”

Patton dipped his finger in water and took it out.

A drop of clear water trickled down my finger.

“That’s right.”

The inspector lifted the silk with a distorted face.

Puhwaat!

Transparent water splashed in all directions.

The water remaining in the bucket was still clear.

No matter how much you knead and squeeze the water-soaked silk.

Even the pigment didn’t come off.

“This, this, this silk, this quantity…” “They’re all genuine?”

The inspector muttered with an expression of disbelief.

And soon, he realized what he had just done.

“That silk is expensive. “You dropped the whole pill into the water, right?”

The inspector dropped the silk into water to prove it was fake.

Thanks to that, I wasted a piece of that expensive silk.

Normally, I would cut off the corner slightly and use it.

I was blinded by the thought of taking a bribe, so I ended up taking irrational measures.

“I guess I’ll have to file a claim for damages.”

The inspector quickly ran towards me.

He had a strange face that neither cried nor smiled.

“… Now, wait! Captain. This way for a moment… Let’s talk… .”

“Uh huh. What are you doing now? “Let’s do it according to the law.”

“Come on, Captain! So, this is, this is… .”

Frost silkworm silk is a valuable luxury item.

Scissors or a piece of silk airlifted from the continent?

I clicked the compass and launched the map hack.

Considering the market price of the day, the price of one silkworm silk… .

1,084 gold.

This is quite a lot of money for the inspector who checks at the loading dock.

“Come on, Captain. Let’s talk for a moment. yes? please… .”

“you. “Did you intentionally put on a show to take a bribe?”

The checker’s face turned as white as a skull.

“Seo, no way! What do I regret… .”

“You just said that. They say there is a silk smuggler in Seorinu. How did they get through inspection? I’ve been thinking about it… .”

I looked at the checker in silence.

There was no need to glare, so I just smiled.

That actually worked better.

“Please, if I get caught, I’ll be the one to kill you! I will definitely reimburse you, so let me ask quietly. And captain, you better not escalate things too much!”

When you’re cornered, why are you suddenly threatening me?

I was curious about what he was saying, so I decided to listen.

“Why can’t I increase my work?”

“It hurts my mouth to even say that! Who would take the side of a captain who hasn’t even taken off his uniform yet?!”

He slowly regained his lost confidence.

Color slowly returned to his pale face.

“I am an inspector with 8 years of experience. “My voice is much louder than yours!”

“I’m a veteran enough to have been to Scissors and the Continent, right?”

“Beginner’s luck! Anyway, captain. Decide wisely! Don’t increase your workload for no reason… .”

It was then.

A murmur was heard from the other side of the port.

It wasn’t a normal rumbling sound either.

A harsh yell telling people to get out of the way immediately.

People who get out of the way before hearing that sound.

“What is it? “Has an important guest arrived?”

The inspector who was threatening me wiped his glasses with his clothes.

He adjusted his glasses and craned his neck… .

“Ugh!!”

I sat back as if I had seen a ghost.

“What’s wrong. “What happened?”

“Well, that… That… What… ?!”

The moment I turned my head, wondering what was going on.

Golden waves unfolded before my eyes.

Blonde hair gently blowing in the sea breeze.

A golden vest worn over a top.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. long time no see.”
