The sun and moon reincarnate, time travels, a week passes like quicksand, and Boom and Rikka have long been accustomed to this somewhat boring life at sea.
The ocean is an unprecedented experience for Boom. As for the little girl Rikka, it remains fresh every day.
The seagulls are so noisy, the white clouds are so thick, the sea water is so charming, and even the occasional drizzle is so pleasant.
There is no expected battle, no sense of life-and-death crisis, no fluorescent magic power fluctuations, and no dirty blood or broken limbs.
"We will probably arrive in the Principality of Zeon before dawn tomorrow. Brother Boom, you and Miss Rikka must come to Fletcher City if you have time. Your sister-in-law is famous for her cooking skills." The man took a sip of ale and smiled.
Said.
"Absolutely, my sister and I like to travel around. Brother, please don't pretend that we don't know each other when the time comes." Boom nodded in return and motioned to Rikka to get some food from the dimensional space.
This person is not a Viking from the Tundra Continent, but a small businessman from the Principality of Zeon. He went to the Tundra Continent to buy some whale meat, because although this stuff is not very tasty, it is rare and precious.<
/p>
What nobles like most is to be able to show things that they have never seen before in front of outsiders. Therefore, compared with the actual value of whale meat, its incidental meaning is even more valuable.
It was late at night, and Rikka went to bed early, but her left hand was still holding the corner of Boom's clothes. However, Boom seemed to have no intention of stopping the conversation with the other party.
"I sound like a businessman, but in reality I am just an opportunistic liar. I defraud whale meat from the frozen continent at the lowest price, and then use those disgusting modifications to sell it to the nobles." p>
"In these years of traveling around, I have also summed up ten rules. Although I don't say that I have become famous because of this, I still have no worries about food and clothing."
"First, be a patient listener. Because before doing anything, it is best to have information, and the value of the information can usually determine the outcome."
"Second, never look boring. This is how relationships are between people. If the first feeling fails to meet expectations, there will naturally be no follow-up."
"Third, don't reveal any of your own opinions first, wait for the other person to finish speaking, and then agree. Everyone has an opinion, and no one likes their ideas to be criticized."
"Fourth, after the other party expresses his/her point of view, change the pre-prepared words. 'Agreement' is far more pleasant than 'refutation'. No matter how wise the scholar is, he or she has something to be proud of."
"Fifth, don't rush to follow up on suggestive conversations unless the other party has a strong interest. Innuendo is a method, and there are words in the words to give the other party time to think."
"Sixth, never talk about illness. A depressive atmosphere cannot inspire greed. A relaxed atmosphere promotes business development in a good direction, while conversely it will hinder all progress."
"Seventh, never pry into the other person's personal situation. They will eventually tell you. The way to speak is that a wise man waits for the other person to take the initiative to tell you everything. Ordinary people occasionally test, and fools just open their mouths and ask."
"Eighth, never brag, let your importance be quietly obvious. Unintentional display of strength is deeply popular, while exaggerated and straightforward self-promotion will only have side effects."
"Ninth, never be messy, regardless of appearance or mentality. 'Calmness' is a quality that everyone should have, and it is a way of life that everyone needs to continuously improve throughout their lives."
"Tenth, you must not get drunk while doing business. Alcohol will confuse people's thinking, or at least greatly increase the chance of saying the wrong thing."
"The above is my way of survival. I call them the 'Ten Commandments of Liar'. I don't have anything to offer, I just treat it as parting words. I hope it can warn you."
After saying that, the man walked away with the truck. People were coming and going in East Antler Bay of the Principality of Jean at this time, but most of them were guys who wanted to be empty-handed, not real businessmen.
The sailors were in an orderly manner under the command of the captain, and buckets of fresh water were loaded into the three-masted merchant ship. The decks that were leaking due to drifting ice were being quickly repaired.
Rikka wanted to go to the port market, but Boom grabbed her and told her not to leave more than three meters away from her. The midday sun was very dazzling, and Boom and Rikka's journey began again, but they were about to arrive at the same time.
End point.
"Brother, what the hell is that guy talking about? Why can't most of Rikka understand it?"
"Could it be that Rikka has become stupid? No! That person must have deliberately said something that others can't understand. It's so disgusting!"
Rikka sat down on the blanket, and then looked at Boom angrily. She didn't like that man, because he gave her a greasy and cunning feeling, as if he was a poisonous snake that could bite at any time.
"There is nothing difficult to understand. His so-called 'Ten Commandments of Liars' are essentially things that expose human nature."
"Rikka, please remember, we must remain vigilant at all times, whether it is against a peak powerhouse or a seemingly harmless wild cat."
"There are many kinds of strong winds. Strength is one aspect, wisdom is another aspect, and so is emotional intelligence."
"Many conflicts can be avoided, and the two sides do not need to fight to the death and fight each other."
"The most basic function of language is communication. After advanced level, it can also solve many problems. As for smart people, they can use it to turn things around."
"It's true that Rikka is very powerful, but the other person is just an ordinary person. He relied on his years of accumulated experience to survive step by step until today, and he is still living well. This is a kind of success."
The man's figure finally disappeared into the crowd. Boom looked back and patted Rikka's little head with a smile. The noise in Qinhai never stopped, and the caravans that passed by from time to time were branded with the clan emblems of the major principalities, just like a
The ancient continent soaked in water.
Boom knew that this trip would pass through the Principality of Zeon, but he had no plans to go deep into it. On the one hand, the Principality of Zeon was a famously poor place on the ancient continent. Boom had just left the tundra continent and never wanted to fight for another piece of land.
Troubled by sugar cake.
On the other hand, the frost giant Ymir once almost destroyed the Principality of Zeon with his own hands. As his friend, Boom would naturally not betray his friend, even if he just wandered around the Principality of Zeon.
As for the small businessman, Boom admired him from the bottom of his heart. At least under the same conditions, Boom asked himself that he did not do as well as the other person.
Boom was also an orphan in Augu City, so he can naturally understand what the other party calls the "Ten Commandments of Liars." That is the personal experience that only a person can sum up after experiencing suffering and humiliation.
Because once upon a time, Boom was beaten until he was almost disabled because of a word, scolded by a city guard because of an expression, and humiliated in the street by a servant of a noble family because of a look.
The three-masted merchant ship adjusted its course, and the rocky sea to the west was right in front of them. The Vikings in the cabin became even more excited. But Christine, who was always shrinking in the shadows, seemed to have no mood swings.
