48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1442 Chapter 2 - Courage 9 (Thanks to Ally TiMUSW)

Annie! It's Annie!!!!

When I read the novel before, although Simon was the most popular in the comments section, Chen Fan's favorite female character was Annie.

The reason was simple, because the red-haired girl had the thing he craved the most - courage!

I'm sure any reader of the novel will have a hard time forgetting this handsome, free-spirited young woman.

Well, of course, I'm afraid that the current Annie can no longer be called a young girl.

Chen Fan has also reacted at this time, the king mentioned in the previous background introduction should refer to Zhang Heng, after all, Zhang Heng had become the Lord of the Seven Seas when he left the copy, and defeated the Great Britain Navy several times, his fame has long been a household name, so the copy time that Chen Fan experienced now should be after Zhang Heng left the Black Sail chapter.

Although the latter was only a teenager when Zhang Heng and Annie first met, the time span of the Black Sail replica was very long, over ten years, and now Annie was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years older.

However, Chen Fan was still very excited to meet his favorite female character, and immediately took off, "I want to be in, I want to be in!"

It wasn't that he hadn't heard what Di Frener had said before, now wasn't the right time to become a pirate, but the problem was that what was standing in front of him now was the pirate group that Zhang Heng had built up back then! In addition to the red-haired female pirate Annie, there was also the military officer Di Frener, Billy, Harry and a host of other famous characters, Chen Fan did not expect that he would one day be able to be so close to them.

If he missed this opportunity right now, then he didn't know that the next time would be a monkey's nightmare.

Annie raised her eyebrows at his words, "You want in?"

"Mmhmm." Chen Fan was busy nodding, and as a result, he saw the red-haired female captain not immediately agree, but instead swept him from head to toe with her gaze, and Chen Fan's face reddened up again, he was a self-made man, and because of his lack of exercise, his body wasn't even strong enough for an ordinary person, let alone in a group of old pirates with a hundred battles under their belts.

It was simply a flock of chickens.

Sure enough after that he heard Quartermaster DiFreina speak up, "What can you do?"

"I can ...... "Chen Fan dumb, strictly speaking, the 21st century high school students in the 18th century is still quite versatile, but if the post is limited to the pirate ship can do very little, fighting he definitely can not, nautical surveying is not to mention, cooking he also did ......

But Chen Fan thought around but he really was able to find a job he could do, "I, I can keep track of the books!"

"Bookkeeping?" Defrina's look softened a little, indeed, a bookkeeper was essential on all pirate ships, and the loot obtained after each plunder had to be counted and tallied, and someone had to keep track of the use of the public funds disbursed on board.

"But we've no shortage of bookkeepers, old Barrie's doing a pretty good job, and he's got an apprentice named Benny, so if anything happens to old Barrie, Benny can take up the slack, and in addition to bookkeeping, they can all take up arms and join the fight when there's real trouble." The Quartermaster's next words, however, were like a pot of cold water that poured cold water over Chen Fan.

"Sorry, kid, but I'm afraid there's no room for you on our ship."

Chen Fan stayed where he was and watched as a group of pirates moved the ship's valuable cargo, bacon, biscuits, and liquor to their pirate ship, leaving only about twenty days worth of water and food for the masses on board.

"This is the rule set by the Pirate King, you are on a trade route, there are still many ships coming and going, as long as you are not too unlucky, these supplies are enough for you to wait until rescue, so thank him for his mercy." After the red-haired female pirate said that, she was about to return to her ship with her men as well.

As a result, there was an urgent voice from behind her, "Wait!"

The one who spoke was none other than Chen Fan who had volunteered to join the pirate group before, Chen Fan ignored the strange eyes of the people around him, those people seemed to be relieved after hearing the red-haired female pirate say that she had left them food and water, and were not as nervous as when they were just captured, and even many of them had a hidden joy in their eyes, as if they were happy that they could escape from the tiger's mouth.

But Chen Fan was not as optimistic as them, as a senior wimp, he didn't want to gamble his life on the vast ocean, although according to Annie this was the main trade route, the chances of other ships passing by were quite high, but what if they were unlucky and didn't encounter any in twenty days?

Chen Fan couldn't help but raise a chill when he first heard the name of this replica, he didn't believe that the system would allow him to complete the mission so easily, and if he really followed this merchant ship back to London safely, he would be in big trouble.

He had applied to join Annie's pirate group when it was looked at by many pairs of eyes, these merchants, sailors this heavy losses, they may not be able to take the far side of Annie and others, but he has no problem with this helpless oriental anger or no problem, it is possible to go back to him will be counted as a pirate accomplice, reported to expose, and England is now particularly harsh on the attitude of pirates, after waiting for his fear is not hanged.

In order to avoid such a tragedy, Chen Fan no matter what to mix with the group of pirates in front of him.

Annie stopped and looked back at Chen Fan, but although she didn't just walk away, the look in her eyes was clear, if Chen Fan didn't really have something important to call her, then she wouldn't mind giving this kid a lesson.

Chen Fan couldn't help but shiver at this stare from the red-haired female pirate, and it was only then that he realized that, excluding the addition of those fan filters, what was standing in front of him right now was a female pirate leader with countless blood on her hands, who had come from a sea of corpses, and human life might really be nothing in her eyes.

But at this point, Chen Fan had no way to retreat, he could only harden his scalp, "I ...... can actually still fight."

As a result, as soon as he said that, the group of pirates across the street all coaxed laughter, mainly because the comedic effect of Chen Fan's small body with his words was so strong that it instantly heated up the atmosphere.

"You can fight? I'll bet my grandmother can fight better than you!"

"Is this guy drunk? Do you want me to help him sober up?" There were even pirates already rubbing their fists.

Chen Fan's entire body was even more frightened to the point that he couldn't help but shiver, and it took almost all of his strength to hold on without retreating, then he gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "Give ...... me a knife, I can prove it."
