Chapter 29: The Importance of Sustained Development
Flanders quickly agreed to the price of 30,000 Demon Sea gold coins. As you can imagine, his financial resources are strong.
Baja is capable of such things as temporary price changes. The reason why it did not do this was because it did not want to offend Flanders, the God of Wealth.
Even a black-cursed crow can kill Flanders in an instant, but the vice president of Lijin Bank cannot be killed easily. Killing him would be tantamount to enmity with many high-ranking officials in the empire and the generals of the Royal Navy.
Flanders himself knew this very clearly, but he did not threaten him, because he knew that the people on this dangerous ship would dare to do anything.
"Is this the rumored Doom? My life has not been in vain."
Flanders smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned to look sad.
"this……"
Flanders looked at Baha and didn't know how to address him for a moment.
"Baha."
"Hello Baha, I wonder if I can meet your captain?"
"Can."
As soon as Bach finished speaking, the door to the captain's cabin opened. Flanders arranged his appearance, walked through the two rows of cursed people, and entered the captain's cabin.
As soon as he entered the captain's cabin, Flanders saw a beauty with long golden hair tied up. If it were in the past, Flanders would have looked at it a few more times, but now he just smiled politely and turned away.
.
"I am Flanders, the vice president of the Bank of Ile de Saint-Melo,"
Flanders sat down while speaking, and continued: "I have no reason to refuse this transaction, but... 30,000 gold coins is not a small amount, and I need time to raise it."
"oh."
Su Xiao was sitting behind a wooden table. There were formation diagrams all over the table, and a broken horn was floating up. This was the horn of the Sea King.
Su Xiao is trying to analyze the structure of Neptune's horn. The internal structure of this thing is quite complex, and its principle is very similar to a spiritual resonance device.
If the Neptune's horns are spliced together and the user injects spiritual power into them, they can resonate with a specific spiritual power.
Same as the previous speculation, this thing is used to control a certain sea beast.
"I need about...3 days."
Flanders spoke tentatively.
"At this time tomorrow morning, I want to see 30,000 Demon Sea gold coins."
"this……"
Flanders looked troubled.
"Can't you do it? Forget it, I will take back the nightmare. The medicine that has been injected into your body will be given to you as a gift."
Su Xiao put away Neptune's horns and stared at Flanders.
"Did you give it to me?"
Flanders did not feel surprised, but felt flustered. There is no free lunch in the world.
"This evening, I will give you 30,000 Demon Sea gold coins."
Flanders looked like he was going all out. To raise so many Demon Sea gold coins in such a short period of time, he had to pay a heavy price.
"..."
After Su Xiao stared at Flanders for a moment, he opened the drawer next to him and took out two bottles of potion. With his level of alchemy, it was not difficult to prepare a potion that could permanently improve the physique of ordinary people.
Just dilute a small amount of [Natural Gift], then add two mild plant materials, and a potion called [Vitality Revitalization] is ready.
【Revival of Vitality (Perfect)】
Type: Permanent gain potion
Effect: After drinking/injecting, the physical strength attribute will be permanently increased by 10 points, and the health value will be permanently increased by 500 points (it will take effect when the physical attribute is below 80 points, and will be invalid after repeated use).
Perfect level bonus: Can quickly restore damaged body functions, and within the next 3 natural days, gradually restore permanent damage to the heart, liver, kidneys and other organs (effective when the physical attribute is below 80 points, and will be invalid after repeated use).
…
Su Xiao threw two bottles of [Vitality Revival] towards Flanders, who took them in a hurry.
"This is?"
"The potion you used last night can..."
Bach began to explain to Flanders the effect of the [Vitality Revitalization] potion. Flanders' eyes gradually brightened, and he said:
"This thing... is priced at least 20,000 Demon Sea gold coins per bottle. Those big shots won't refuse, and they will split it into 28%!"
Flanders showed his nature as a businessman, and he dared to bargain even if he was facing the captain of the Doom.
"It's divided into 30 and 70."
"Why?"
Flanders was slightly stunned, feeling that he might have heard wrongly.
"I will provide the potion, and you will be responsible for everything after that."
After hearing Su Xiao's words, the flattering smile on Flanders' face disappeared. He hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made a decision.
"If you want to get rid of this potion stably and quickly, the royal family of the empire is the best choice, but it is very dangerous, let me think about it."
"Answer me within half an hour."
"Thank you."
Flanders strode towards the captain's room, his attitude less flattering. In his opinion, Su Xiao had changed from half an enemy to a collaborator.
Flanders thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to this cooperation. He was ready to give it a try and use his identity as [Vital Recovery] and the vice president of Lijin Bank as a springboard to contact the royal family of the empire. What he wanted was not gold coins.
But power.
Flanders knew that he did not have the potential to master extraordinary power. If he wanted to become a master, power was the only way.
Gudu, Gudu...
Flanders grabbed the wine bottle, raised his head and poured wine into his mouth. At this time, he was exposing his chest and belly, completely revealing the side of him that he had been in the slums.
"Mr. Bai Ye, if I die because of this, will I also become a cursed person?"
The drunken Flanders smiled, the opportunity was right in front of him, Flanders was not timid because of the bad reputation of the Doom, but he firmly seized the opportunity.
"Won't."
"Why?"
Flanders burped. Although he was a bit out of his element, he was very measured in his words and did not get carried away. After all, he had been struggling on the devil's sea until now.
"You are too weak."
"Uh~"
Flanders seemed a little shocked and then smiled again.
"Mr. Bai Ye, I have been troubled since I was a child. There is nothing in my family except money. Alas~"
"..."
Su Xiao signaled Baha to take Flanders away and return him to the shipwreck island. Baha was responsible for taking over the 30,000 magic sea gold coins. It could fly, making it easier to move on the sea.
Su Xiao is the only one left in the captain's room. He has reached a cooperative relationship with Flanders and will get a large amount of Demon Sea gold coins in the evening. Not only that, but there will also be a relatively stable income in the future.
Baha cannot always be in charge of this matter. At the critical moment, he still needs to fight. In this way, Caesar becomes the best candidate to hand over to Flanders.
Caesar is still trapped on the Mining Light Island at this time. That guy is a typical trader who can’t afford to do anything early. If Caesar participates in the [Vitality Recovery] potion transaction, the guy will most likely not want a share, but will want something more critical.
, for example, additional income generated during the transaction.
With Caesar's saucy operation, he will definitely get a lot of benefits from it, but that is Caesar's own ability, and Su Xiao will not interfere.
Su Xiao is not worried about the fact that Caesar is trapped on Miningguang Island. That guy will be able to leave in all likelihood, and he can even do such cunning operations as 'credit'. Leaving Miningguang Island should not be a problem for Caesar.
Too difficult.
And a certain decision made by Flanders made Su Xiao feel that this person would be one of the big figures in the Demon Sea in the future.
Flanders' decision was to give part of 30% of his profits to Commodore Murray, the commander of the Royal Navy.
In this way, Su Xiao accounts for 70%, Brigadier General Murray 20%, Flanders 10%, and the rest of the additional income will all belong to Caesar. Don't think that Caesar is losing money. If it is operated properly, Caesar's income will be second only to Su Xiao
.
In this interest chain, Su Xiao is the provider of the medicine, Brigadier General Murray provides the network, Flanders is responsible for negotiating prices, and Caesar walks among all parties to play a stabilizing role.
The two identities of captain of the Doom and commodore of the Royal Navy were suppressed. Even if the transaction party was the imperial royal family, they would not dare to touch Frank easily. The price was too high.
After successfully building this interest chain, Su Xiao is more confident in the plan after completion. He can develop steadily now. When he shows up again, he will deal with the King of the West Sea first, then the Twin Towers Empress, and finally the Duke. If the great pirate Black
Wu Sa is also hostile, so deal with them together.
"Woof!"
Bubuwang rushed into the captain's room and shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"Woof!"
"Is there a sea creature approaching the Doom?"
Su Xiao got up and walked towards the captain's room. This was very unusual. Sea beasts would not dare to approach the Doom.
Arriving next to the ship's side, Su Xiao found a huge shadow swimming in the sea. It was a giant sea beast.
"Buzz..."
The long and deep sound of the sea came from the water. This was an extraordinary giant whale, which was longer than the Doom, at least 50 meters taller.
As soon as Su Xiao stepped on the plank of the ship under her feet, the cursed people integrated into the ship scattered in the water, turning into black shadows in the water and rushing towards the extraordinary giant whale.
Boom!
The Doom's hull was hit, and the blood stained the nearby sea red. It was the blood of that extraordinary giant whale.
This extraordinary giant whale is very powerful. Even if it is not a true overlord unit, it is still a sub-overlord unit. The sea is its home field. As long as it is in sea water, the injuries of this extraordinary giant whale will recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
For a time, the cursed people were unable to do anything about this extraordinary giant whale. It was too big. The cursed people had broken open the body of the extraordinary giant whale and penetrated deep into its body. Even so, this behemoth would not die so easily.
Boom!
Another heavy impact, the Doom tilted on the sea, and the durability of the hull dropped a little.
Strong winds swept through, and more than a dozen pirate ships came from a distance, a total of fifteen three-masted ships and one four-masted ship. The overall length of this big ship was at least 90 meters, which was more than twice the size of the Doom.
On this big ship, a pirate captain wearing a black pirate hat and a full beard is standing at the bow of the ship. The beard on his chin is braided into several thin braids. You can feel his hair just by looking at him.
Harsh and cruel, King Xihai, one of the four great pirates, came to visit.
"Found you, Doom."
The King of the West Sea raised his hand. He wore a simple ring on his index finger. A wave of waves spread from the ring and spread to a large area of the sea.
This fluctuation swept across the Doom, and Su Xiao immediately received the prompt.
[Tip: You have suffered the effect of ‘Sacrificing Luck’, and your luck attribute has been reduced to -12 points (this is a constant debuff). This effect will be lifted after you leave the designated range. 】
