The girl is quite a chatterbox; he only asked if she knew about it, and she revealed so much information. Ron nodded. The girl babbled a few things when she came to provide dinner; he went along silently, but his head was spinning from all that chatter. She finally left after a while. Ron scooted into his bed and fell asleep fast, because of the tiring day.
The next day, Ron had some breakfast and left with the girl towards the port.
"Hey, Uncle Amit!"
"Hey, my little angel, how come you're here? Did your mom send you for something?"
"No Uncle, this sir wants to go to Avalon Kingdom, so I immediately brought him here"
"Hello there, I usually charge 15 copper, but since you came with my little angel, I'll give you a discount, just 12 copper"
"Sure, Thanks!"
Ron turned around towards the little girl, took out 10 copper from his pocket, and gave it to her.
"Sir, what's this for? You already paid for everything!"
The girl was surprised, but Ron insisted on paying her a commission for all the information and help.
As the girl left in a hurry, he boarded the ship to start his journey towards the Zhang sect.
The journey is usually only a few hours. Ron took out the crystal and after much thought, he decided to break it. He was sure that starting from his arrival in Avalon, his adventures would start, and he was not sure how it'll turn out. So it's safe for him to break the system node right now.
Once he broke the crystal, a wisp of light came out of it and disappeared as it flew towards the sky. The crystal in his hand turned into dust.
Ding!
[The system node has been successfully placed by the host! It will take 115 days for the system node to successfully integrate with the blue realm]
Phew, it's not going to end anytime soon, and he will have 115 days before the mission is closed.
Ron looked at the Marketplace; so far he had tried to sell many things from his own world, but the system didn't accepted those. But when he tried to add random things from the blue realm, it gave a prompt if he wanted to sell it to the system. But the value of all the items he tried so far were zero. So he didn't explore anymore and left it for the future.

"Everyone, form a line, and take out all of your belongings~~"
He heard a creepy voice, and as he turned around, he noticed a bunch of pirates pointing their weapons towards everyone. He had a feeling he had seen one of them somewhere, the person who also appeared to be their captain.
Damn! He looked exactly like Jack Sparrow from the movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean'! And Ron is a big fan of Jack Sparrow!
"Hey boyo, what are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by this captain's magnificence? Hahaha…"
The captain wobbled his way towards Ron while taking a sip of alcohol. He placed one of his hands on Ron's shoulders while holding the alcohol bottle, and used his cutlass to gently lift Ron's pouch.
"What's your name?"
Ron isn't worried about the money, as he is sure that he can beat the crap out of everyone here and snatch it back. What he found more intriguing was the captain.
When Ron asked the name of the pirate captain, everyone, including Amit, the owner of the ship, got stunned. They didn't know if the kid was brave or dumb.
"Huh? Why? Do you want to join my crew, mate? Haha! This splendid captain's name is James Sully!"
"Hahahaha…. So that's how it is, huh"
Ron extended his hand and swiftly snatched back his pouch. Captain James tilted his head in surprise and reached for his cutlass, which he placed around Ron's neck.
"You're a brave boy, because once something touches Captain James, it's his property. Come on, boyo, take it out!"
Ron didn't wait and punched Captain James; all the other pirates fell down and groaned. All the others were shocked, as they only saw a shadow moving all over the ship.
"He's a cultivator!"
Some of them realized this and instantly jumped back into the sea.
"Captain, see you around if you survive! Hehe…"
The rest of the pirates followed suit and jumped off the ship as well, swimming towards their ship in a distance.
Captain James lied on the floor supporting his head with his hand, and chilled. He then jumped up, stood straight on his feet, and slowly walked around Ron. He secretly glanced all over the ship as if looking for an opportunity.
"So you're a cultivator, boyo? I never imagined that. Let me tell you something: you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain James Sully"
He grabbed the rope of a sail with one hand and cut the rope with other with his cutlass. The sail pulled the rope up into the air, dragging Captain James along with it. He swung along the rope and landed right at the edge of his ship.
He supported himself on the ship's rail and smirked.
"Did everyone see that? Cause I will 'not' be doing it again. Set sail, comrades! Ahoy!"
He and his crew took off quickly. Ron was left baffled; no matter how he looked at him, he was exactly like Jake Sparrow! He then sighed and headed back into the cabin to rest.
