Chapter 9 I think our conversation has touched your soul

 Seeing the lucky man happily leaving with a lot of gold coins in his arms, the other sailors on the dock immediately looked at Tang Sen eagerly, looking forward to the opportunity to participate in the next round of the game.

As for work? With this opportunity to get rich overnight in front of you, who has the heart to carry sandbags? Besides, even the captains of merchant ships have no mind to care about this. Being able to participate in a game, the benefits are not as good as running a trip.

There should be fewer ships.

"The effect is good."

Tang Sen was slightly convinced. It seemed that after two small games, his money-spending style had taken a solid step in the hearts of the sailors. He believed that it wouldn't be long before his presence would be spread throughout Port Royal through them.

However, this is not enough.

He looked at the sky. At this time, the blue sea had already turned a touch of orange. The sun was moving westward, and the entire Port Royal was shrouded in misty twilight.

"It's getting late, gentlemen."

Tang Sen raised his voice and said: "That's it for today's game session. I won't disturb everyone's work."

"Is this the end?"

"Go on, I haven't participated yet!"

The sailors suddenly shouted.

Of course, Tang Sen had already anticipated the sailors' reaction. He straightened his collar and said, "Don't worry, everyone."

"My surname is Tang, and I am a traveler. I have always been happy to help anyone who wants to change their destiny. In the next few days, I will come here every day, and anyone will have the opportunity to participate in my game."

"Of course, as is the old rule, once you win the game, you will receive generous rewards."

Tang Sen didn't waste any time. He bent down slightly and pulled off the black cloth covering the glass box at his feet.

Through the transparent glass, the gold coins inside were displayed in front of everyone present.

"Hiss——"

A uniform intake of breath sounded from the pier.

"This... these are all gold coins? How much does this cost?"

The sailors have never seen so many gold coins packed together. The qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes make it impossible for anyone to take their eyes away from those golden gadgets.

"Here are five hundred guineas."

Tang Sen looked at the expressions of the sailors, with a hint of bewilderment in his tone: "No doubt, this is indeed the reward I will give out."

"They could belong to any one of you."

"I will keep these gold coins here and will not take them away until their owners appear."

"This...Mr. Tang, are you going to put such a large sum of money on the dock?" Warrant Officer Tom's gaze that had been looking directly at the gold coins suddenly retracted, and he shouted in disbelief: "This is a crowded place in Port Royal."

In most places, there is no protection, and anyone can steal it."

"That's a huge loss for the lucky ones that may happen in the future, isn't it?" Townsend winked at Warrant Officer Tom and joked: "I think there will be many people willing to guard them all night long."

"..." Warrant Officer Tom opened his mouth. He really didn't know how to evaluate Mr. Tang's big heart.

That was five hundred gold coins. Not to mention those sailors, even he himself was willing to take risks for such a large amount of money, even losing his job.

"Pfft——"

Looking at Warrant Officer Tom's expression, Townsend couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't worry, I don't intend to use this to test the self-control of the citizens of Port Royal."

"Warrant Officer Tom, I wonder if the Royal Navy is interested in protecting the legal property of citizens?" He changed the topic and said: "Look, five hundred gold coins is a lot of money. In order to prevent it from being stolen, I think it will take at least fifty

Only a well-armed soldier can deter people with ulterior motives, right?"

"...right?" Warrant Officer Tom responded dully.

"But this is too troublesome for the soldiers. In order to compensate the soldiers, I decided to give each of them ten gold coins per day. This is fair, right?"

"...right?"

"That's such a happy decision. I wonder if Warrant Officer Tom can contact his colleagues who are willing to do this hard work?"

"Of course everyone is willing to do this kind of thing... No!" Warrant Officer Tom finally reacted, his eyes suddenly widened: "This is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Tang Sen asked with a smile.

"In order to protect five hundred gold coins, you have to pay five hundred gold coins a day. What's the point? No...it doesn't take so many gold coins to hire the Royal Navy...It's also wrong, the Royal Navy cannot be hired.

..Hey, what am I talking about?"

Warrant Officer Tom was in a mess.

"Warrant Officer, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Tang Sen suddenly looked serious, "This is a gift, not an employment. The Royal Navy only serves England, how can I be hired?"

"I'm sorry...no..." Warrant Officer Tom looked at Tang Sen, and then at the gold coins in the glass box on the ground. His jaw kept opening and closing, but he couldn't say anything.

"I think our conversation has touched your soul. It doesn't matter. You can digest it slowly."

Townsend stopped bullying poor Warrant Officer Tom, looked at the sailors again, and said loudly: "Then, gentlemen, please go back to work. I hope the golden light left here is enough to make everyone feel tired when they are tired.

Lift your spirits."

"I repeat again, anyone can participate in my game, regardless of gender, age or age, whether rich or poor, I treat them equally."

"Gentlemen, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Tang Sen walked away without paying attention to the gold coins placed on the ground.

"Wait...wait!" Warrant Officer Tom trembled, "Mr. Tang, did you really put the gold coins here?"

"Warrant Officer, it's getting late, please escort me back." Tang Sen kept walking.

"But... hey!" Warrant Officer Tom gritted his teeth and quickly called to the soldiers next to him: "You guys stay here and don't let anyone else get close to these gold coins. William, hurry up and find someone."

He paused and said with a complicated look on his face: "There's no need to look for anyone. It's ten gold coins a day. Anyone who wants to come can come."

There are hundreds of soldiers left behind in Port Royal, and a lot of them take turns to take turns. It is reasonable and legal to come to the dock for a night during the break. It will not violate the ban at all, and they can earn ten gold coins. How can anyone be unwilling to do such a good thing?

Five hundred gold coins were just laid out on the pier. No one would suspect that Tang Sen refused to pay. His style of spending money like water has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on this day.

"Damn, I want to stay here."

Feeling envious in his heart, Warrant Officer Tom quickly caught up with Tang Sen.

"Mr. Tang, don't worry, your gold coins will be safe."

Tang Sen Shi Ran walked and said with a smile: "I feel relieved that Warrant Officer Tom is doing his job."

He paused for a moment: "By the way, I almost forgot to borrow a shilling from you just now."

"It's okay, it's just a shilling, don't worry." the warrant officer replied quickly.

"You have to borrow and repay. The principal of one shilling, plus interest, I should repay you a total of ten pounds. Round up, so ten gold coins. It's fair, isn't it?"
