Official Edition Part Two Chapter Eleven Death Rush
Lisbon, which was a small provincial capital in the mid-fifteenth century, is now one of the largest capitals in the world and certainly a city of luxury. Ladies in open carriages on the streets show off their Indian pearls and are richly dressed.
The ministers hurried to the king's palace. Craftsmen in the shipyards were assembling a new fleet of ships, and every workshop was buzzing with plans to conquer India, the Malay Archipelago, Japan, and China.
Before we walked into the largest luxury market in Lisbon, Magellan kindly reminded me: "Are you sure you want to make money here? You must know that the guys here are all vampires."
I nodded confidently and walked slowly in.
Sure enough, as soon as the seven of us entered the market, we immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some people even started talking in low voices. This is no wonder, because with the advent of the Age of Discovery and the rise of the slave trade, Portugal's territory has been extended
All over the world. Europeans, Arab Muslims, Indians, Malay natives, South American natives, African natives... no race can be seen here. (Magellan's slave Enrique was a Southeast Asian native) But there is only one ethnic group where they are almost
I have never seen it before - the Chinese. Perhaps because they adhere to the teachings of their ancestors and dare not go too far, the Chinese have successfully maintained their sense of mystery in the world.
This sense of mystery helped us today. Soon, a large group of Portuguese nobles who were shopping gathered around.
"Oh, look, they must be Chinese. Chinese tea is great."
"I have beautiful Chinese silk at home."
"Silk is nothing, our vase is our treasure.
"But today is the first time I have seen Chinese people. I heard that they live in an empire larger than the whole of Europe."
…………
"Ouch!" The little pig's foot was stepped on hard by me, and it screamed in pain as if it were being killed.
"Ah! Your Highness, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!" As if I was frightened, I knelt down in front of the little pig with a plop.
At this time, I heard someone whispering next to me: "It's a prince. I heard that the Chinese royal family all wear yellow robes, and only the royal family can wear yellow robes. This young man seems to be the only one among their group wearing yellow clothes."
"I didn't expect that the low-grade yellow coat of Xiaozhu, a stripper, could really be put to use.
"Don't you want to live anymore?" Brother Xiao Ran took a step forward and pulled the watermelon knife on his waist vigorously. Dong Dongbao also stood in front of me and stared at me fiercely.
"General, Prime Minister, please spare my life."
"Oh, this man is really annoying. Your Highness, we'd better kill him." Xiaoxiao jumped up to Xiaozhu in fear, held his arm and said delicately.
"According to the records in "Marco Polo's Travels", this man is probably a eunuch who specialized in serving emperors and princes in China." Another Portuguese nobleman was making a clever analysis.
"Father-in-law, please step aside." After kicking away the small speaker, Xiaozhu turned to the two female classmates beside him and asked: "My dear concubines, what do you think we should do with this disrespectful slave?"
Concubine... Thanks to this gangster, he was able to shout. And while he was shouting, he stretched out his dirty hands to hug the two beauties. I saw that Yuxiang was so angry that her veins popped out. Because they had agreed before that they were going to be girls.
Clerk's.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this time, Magellan, who was lame on one leg, lost no time in rushing in with the help of Enrique. He didn't stop until he reached the two ladies. Then he took out a bag and shook it
, said excitedly: "One hundred gold coins! Two princesses, can you sell me the combs you are wearing?"
Youxiang and Xiaowen seemed to be startled, so they subconsciously took out the comb from their thick hair and handed it to Magellan. The old sailor grabbed it and said to Enrique excitedly: "China
The princess's comb, this is a rare treasure." After saying that, he limped away with the comb in his arms.
Suddenly, the surrounding nobles became excited. The crowd surged and instantly surrounded us.
"Commander, is the battle plan you mentioned going well?" In order to prevent these Portuguese nobles from discovering our conspiracy, Xiaozhu also deliberately turned off the automatic translation function of the biological computer and asked me directly in Chinese. I told them
, as long as these Portuguese nobles believe that we are Chinese nobles, they will help us with everything we have, and we will get whatever we want. But how did he know my real plan, hehe...
"Everyone, please don't crowd. His Highness the Prince said that since all our Western friends are so friendly, we can't be too stingy. There are prime ministers, generals, and rare eunuch decorations here. The prices start at a set of one thousand gold coins, and the one with the highest price will get it."
"
Before he finished speaking, a large group of people rushed up.
"I'll give you a thousand coins and ask for eunuch clothes!" (These Europeans are so tasteless.)
"I'll give you five thousand."
"Ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces!"
"Ten thousand coins, one, two, three! This gentleman won..."
The crowd seemed to be going crazy, drowning out Brother Ma, Dong Dongbao and Xiao Xiaoxiao in an instant. A few minutes later, I was holding 30,000 gold coins in my hand. And three poor classmates were stripped.
Everything was gone. If I hadn't stopped him in time, I might have even torn away my rare underwear.
"Commander, your move is really damaging." Looking at the three classmates who ran away crying (looking for clothes) because they thought they couldn't deal with me and Xiaozhu right away, Xiaozhu actually smiled happily.
Get up. However, the people around who have not bought anything have already cast their greedy eyes on us. Especially the ladies, staring at Youxiang and Xiaowen with their evil eyes, some of them have even started to glow with a scary green light.
"The eyes of people like A Shi are so scary." Yuxiang leaned over in fear.
"Yeah, what should we do? They won't come to snatch our clothes!" Xiaowen was also trembling with fear.
At this time, the two female classmates had turned into two huge pieces of gold in my eyes, but I still said calmly: "Yuxiang, there is a women's bathhouse over there, you go there and hide for a while."
After they all left, I stood at the door and said to the ladies: "The princess has a distinguished status, and the price of a set of clothes starts at 20,000 gold coins."
…………
"Wow haha! Marshal, you are really a genius." Seeing that I had put a hundred and two thousand gold coins into my pocket in another space, he couldn't help but admired sincerely. But he forgot to turn on the translator...
"Haha, what great news. His Highness the Prince just said that for the sake of Sino-Portuguese friendship, he is willing to completely sacrifice... give up his yellow robe, yellow mandarin jacket, and yellow underwear. The starting price is 100,000 yuan..." Say this
When I spoke, I was already fifty meters away from the little pig. And now the little pig has no help. This is exactly what the saying says. If you ignore other people's dangers, you won't be able to find help when you need it.
Help your people.
Half an hour later, six Chinese people wearing local Lisbon clothes surrounded me tightly. If hatred could turn into anger, I would have been burned to charcoal. But I still patted him without fear.
The alien space pocket on the waist said to these suffering compatriots: "280,000 gold coins, equivalent to three million Malawidians (Spanish currency), are enough to equip two fully armed ocean-going exploration ships.
Already."
"Don't talk about the money, first explain why you have to sacrifice us instead of yourself." Xiao Ma said this through gritted teeth, and the classmates surrounded me.
"Look, in the end I sold my own clothes for fifty gold coins."
"Fifty gold coins?" No wonder Yuxiang didn't believe it. It's hard for anyone to believe that I, a big liar who cut all my companions into pieces, actually sold my clothes for only fifty gold coins.
"Friends from China, don't be surprised. Chen did this all for me. He exchanged his clothes for me a pass to Spain. And he also planned to hand over most of the two hundred thousand gold coins.
Give it to me..." Lao Mai appeared again. It seemed that he was the only one here who was grateful to me.
"Captain Magellan, actually I have selfish motives for doing this."
"Selfish?"
I took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to say what I really thought: "After completing the test of Taiyi Company, I hope to come back here and go to sea with Captain Magellan to find the great waterway. Not for Portugal,
Not for Spain, not for China."
"What was that for?" After hearing such a strange sentence from me, everyone seemed to have forgotten what I had just done.
"It's for the dream!"
"Yes, it's for a dream..." It was the first time I saw a serious smile on Magellan's face. Later everyone laughed too.
At this time, I heard a crisp sound above my head, and the system prompted: "Mission completed, Chen Shi's reputation +200; Intelligence +1; Charisma +1." Sure enough, with quantitative data, of course, there is ability.
upgrade.
When the bell rang at one o'clock, the seven of us finally stepped into the staff canteen on the second floor of Taiyi Building. We were late for dinner, but we made it in time. Everyone was surprised by our appearance, because
When the last survivor left the big room, there was only a pile of corpses left inside. But now seven more appeared...
Juan was very excited when she saw us. She rushed over and held the hands of Youxiang and Xiaowen affectionately, saying: "You are back! I was about to jump down at that time, but the entrance
It was suddenly closed for no apparent reason. I thought I was the only one from Kanna Academy who could qualify." In this case, all other alumni have been wiped out.
I suddenly felt something strange while standing next to Juan, but I tried hard to convince myself that those speculations were unfounded. My classmates believed that what Meijuan said was true, because few people in this world would harbor malicious intentions.
To guess a gentle and friendly beauty.
At this time, Minister Tao also came to us. She first gave Meijuan a meaningful look, then smiled and said to everyone: "Welcome to join the team." After that, she turned around and said to all the interns: "Everyone.
Group into groups and sit down in your seats. Your counselor will be here soon. There are more than 3,000 tables in the hall, each with eight seats. Naturally, our eight classmates grabbed a table and sat down.
As soon as we sat down, we saw thousands of staff members in white coats filing in. They all had a number plate on their chest, and it was obvious that these number plates corresponded one-to-one with the table where we were sitting.
The hall suddenly became lively. Every student took the initiative to say hello to his counselor, and the counselor also kindly said something to his subordinates. Soon the cadres and the masses became one... Only our seventh
The number table was still deserted, and no one in a white coat came up to us.
Some people in other groups seemed to have noticed what was going on here, but their inquiries were interrupted by the counselors. We had to listen carefully, and I heard the counselor at the next table talking to his subordinates.
Said: "Their counselor is... chirping (unintelligible)..." Then the students in that group no longer dared to look at us directly from the front...
After waiting for more than ten minutes, our counselor has not come yet, and Minister Tao on the stage seemed a little impatient. She whispered something to a clerk next to her. After the clerk left in a hurry, she spoke to
Everyone said: "I have an important meeting in the afternoon. You will follow the guidance of your counselor for the first month of internship. The counselor will tell everyone how to conduct the test." After saying that, she stood up and wanted to leave.
At this moment, she seemed to have discovered something. She suddenly straightened up and shouted: "Hey, stop!"
What kind of people are there to move?
With doubts, I saw a man on the left side of the corner of the lobby holding a book and a tea cup in his right hand, trying to sneak in. In terms of appearance, this man was pretty decent, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and a straight face.
The bridge of the nose... looks a bit like the Korean brother Jang Dong Gun who was very popular in Asia at the beginning of this century. However, this Jang Dong Gun's face is too honest, and there is no trace of the gentle, unrestrained, and suave public lover's temperament. It is a bit like the one on our street.
Two fools.
"He Dong, you have worked really hard."
It was obvious that Minister Tao was mocking him, but the man stood at attention and answered seriously: "It's all for revolutionary work."
"Comrade He Dong, please be more serious."
He Dong looked at Minister Tao with a blank look on his face. Then he ran into us like a headless fly after bumping into several tables.
"No. 7! It turns out it's not No. 1, haha..." Standing in front of us, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hello everyone, my name is He Dong, I am 26 years old. Everyone calls me the fetal god, because my mother said that I
I am a child prodigy right from my mother's womb. We will be working together in the next three months, but don't put too much hope in me."
Today is the first time I meet He Dong, the man who will be responsible for bringing me down in the future.
