The knowledge that only sailors were supposed to be familiar with became familiar in Roland's miles.
Terms such as nautical miles, cruising speed and how to solve and get them naturally occurred to him as they were his knowledge in the first place.
Inside his mind, a lot of things had already happened, but outside, Roland was still inspecting the steering wheel of the Divine Destiny Yacht.
"Are you really sure that you can operate this thing?" Stacey suddenly asked as she hugged Roland from the back.
"Of course, trust me!" Roland answered without looking back.
With the System, what kind of thing would he not be able to do? As long as he has Face-Slapping Poins, he could even become a master marksman in the blink of an eye.
Hearing his confident reply, Stacey just shrugged her shoulders as she allowed Roland to do as he places. In truth, Stacey actually trusted Roland quite a lot already. The question earlier was just for formalities.
It could be said that Stacey has already been brainwashed by Roland to believe that he knew everything.
Roland also did not wait any longer. He started the engine and after pulling the anchor rope, he immediately steered the Divine Destiny as if it was a car skillfully.
It only took him two minutes to make the Divine Destiny face away from the Brine Dock Site, unlike Captain Coleman yesterday who took almost ten minutes just to face the yacht in the opposite direction.
From that alone, one could already tell how much skill Roland has when it comes to operating a yacht.
Roland looked at the navigation map on his map as he followed the direction and pointed the yacht towards Tear Island.
The speed of the yacht increased as time passed by, it went from just a few knots all the way to twenty-seven knots of speed.
Now, unlike small boats, a yacht does not need its captain to constantly man the helm. As long as they have a predetermined location and as long as the sea was not busy, the captain could actually sit idly in the quarterdeck until they reach their destination.
Now that the Divine Destiny was already cruising forward with 27 knots of speed, he estimated that they should be able to reach Tear Island in around three to four hours.
And in that span of time, of course, Roland would not just stay idle in the quarterdeck, especially with Stacey's hand doing naughty things below his waist… again.
Meanwhile back at Fore City.
Inside a popular gym, Bryan could be seen working out with Anna at the center of the whole area.
Around them were dozens of people their age, including Antony who was now sweating profusely after doing some light exercises.
Antony finally stopped and approached Bryan, "Bryan what kind of medicine did you give me? To think I could have this much energy while working out, this a first for me."
Bryan patted his shoulder with a laugh, "The name of the medicine is not important, all you need to know is that if you need more just contact me, alright?"
This was the medicine that Bryan has been taking to build his current strength and muscles.
It was the kind of medicine that would give you a rush-like feeling the moment you consume it.
Antony has been grumbling when they met at a gathering yesterday, so he entices the latter to work out with him and to take the medicine while he was at it for better. Of course, the medicine was not for free, it cost 10 Global Dollars for every capsule.
"Although it's not cheap, its effects were truly marvelous, I can even feel like I can even lift a mountain right now!" Antony stated with great confidence as he clenched his fist aggressively.
Bryan laughed at his reaction, he also felt the same way, however, he was already accustomed to it.
"Oh right, what kind of problems were you facing to grumble like that yesterday?" Bryan suddenly asked.
Yesterday, there was a gathering of young elites in Fore City. Those who went were mostly daughters and sons of the influential figures in Fore City.
As the councilor's son, of course, both of them also attended the gathering.
However, compared to the others, both their achievements were nothing to speak of, if there was any. So it could only mean that in that circle, they have very low standing. Most of the time, guys like them would only sit around and pretend to listen for formalities.
Yesterday, Bryan found Antony in the corner of the room, grumbling as if he was insane.
As someone who was also a low-level figure in the gathering, Bryan approached him only and interacted with him.
Antony shook his head as he recalled what happened a few days back at the Budi Store, "Nothing! An unknown brat and an old hag just conspired to embarrass me in front of the others."
Recalling that incident, Antony could not help but grit his teeth in anger.
"Oh, someone actually dared to stand in front of you, bro? What's their name? Let me handle this for you," Bryan said with confidence.
Antony bought a lot of the medicine from him, so he could not neglect him at all.
Antony turned to look at Bryan, "Are you really able to do it?"
"Of course, trust me on this one."
"Alright then. This is what happened…" Antony then proceeded to narrate what happened in the Budi Store a few days back.
At how Roland and Porsha conspired to embarrass him in front of other people.
Hearing that, Bryan felt sympathetic towards Antony. "Well, brother is truly rich, to think that you would even think of owning a Budi Car. All I can say is that I'm impressed."
"But first things first. What was the name of that guy that you were talking about?"
"I told you, he's just only a minor figure used by that old hag Porsha to embarrass me so I already forgot about his name. We should just focus on Porsha instead, that old hag should pay the price."
After thinking it through for a few hours, Antony came to the realization that Roland might have just been a paid actor hired by Porsha to embarrass him.
The reason was simple: he and the other two people who went to the Budi Store that day actually had a minor competition on who could 'buy' and drive a Budi Car first. Those two might have colluded with Porsha just so he would have a hard time buying the car that he wanted.
Bryan thought for a moment before nodding his head. Indeed, a minor figure like that could be easily forgotten, "Since that old hag wanted to embarrass my brother that much, then let's start with her first."
"Alright, if you can indeed take revenge for me then I would not mind buying a few more of those medicines for my bros too."
Bryan gave him a thumbs up, "That's more like it, brother!"
He then took out his phone and dialed a familiar number, "Since you already have eyes on them, just to continue to monitor them for the time being. Right, go to this location and try to break some bones of this old hag…"
As this was happening in Fore City, a certain group of people with evil intentions was also gathering in Brine City.
