"Captain!"
"The captain's back!"
The crew spotted Shi Ming from a distance. They were as excited as lost fish rejoining their school. Everyone on the drifting ship once again had their pillar of support.
Shi Ming had returned to his loyal ship, the Grand Fortune.
"Has anything unusual happened in the few days I've been gone?" Shi Ming changed into clean clothes and asked Stone Pillar, Lin Hai, and Yellow Cannon, who had been in charge of security and basic operations.
"Captain, everything's been business as usual. No enemy attacks, no sea beasts. The crew followed your previous orders and waited here for your return."
"Good."
Shi Ming nodded.
With its stealth mode active, other drifting ships of a lower class wouldn't be able to detect the Grand Fortune even if they sailed right past it, unless they encountered a general-class vessel.
Most of the exploration team members on this ship had become D-rank Awakened.
