Chapter 56 - 53 The First No-Cost Transaction
Chapter 56: Chapter 53 The First No-Cost Transaction Chapter 56: Chapter 53 The First No-Cost Transaction Editor: Atlas Studios Now, all the players died, leaving only those tiny boats with just one or two sailors.
In battles, once the leading hero is killed, the morale of the remaining troops would drop to negative. However, a large portion will still fight to the death, a small portion will flee, and a small portion will be captured. Captured ones are usually the lowest level units.
With the hero fallen, these sailors had no fight left and resolutely jumped into the sea.
Da Fei panicked, “Surrender and you won’t be killed! Damn it, don’t run! Where do you think you can swim to?”
Catherine also yelled angrily, “No one move! Those who stay won’t be killed! Those who run can feed the sharks themselves!” This seemed to be a pirate intimidation skill.
Finally, six sailors stayed, clutching their heads. As for those who jumped into the sea, they turned into white streaks, disappearing at the horizon.
Damn, they really can escape, huh? Just as he was reflecting, a message arrived.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You achieved the “Victory in the Second Battle,” earning an experience reward of +1140, with an additional reward of +1 Command Power.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You won the battle, captured six Apprentice Sailors, and found spoils of 200 units of fruit wine, 3 units of fresh water, and 2 units of dry bread after clearing the battlefield.
——System Prompt: Fruit wine is considered large cargo and must be transferred to your ship’s hold to be taken away.
——Apprentice Sailor: Attack 0, Defense 0, Life 4, Damage 0-1, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 10, Command Value 1, special skills: Sailing Skill, Swimming.
Fruit wine? Da Fei hurriedly checked the purchase order in his hand and smiled calmly.
The purchase price of 1 unit of fruit wine is 50 Gold Coins, so 200 units amount to 10,000 Gold Coins. Helping them run this errand should at least yield 11,200, right? This solves the money problem for repairing my reputation, and I get 6 sailors for free, thank you.
Of course, it’s not because I’m selfish—okay, it’s because I’m selfish. But isn’t it suicidal for a merchant to stop doing business and start robbing players and pirates? If you don’t seek death, you won’t die, don’t you understand now? Wahahaha!
Catherine threw ropes and nets to the small boat, and scolded those six sailors, “Get all the cargo up here quickly, anyone who slacks off will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!”
The sailors hurriedly accelerated their actions to tie and hoist the cargo boxes.
Da Fei laughed heartily, “I’ll help too, I’ll help too!”
…
Meanwhile, the resurrected Skyshattering Cannon was fuming and arguing with Blood Sea Wave: “Boss, I’m sending you the video now! You said he was just a single player, now look at what’s this beauty? A vice hero! And a pirate! They took all our cargo! Had we known he had a vice hero, we wouldn’t have suffered such a big loss, isn’t it your fault for giving incorrect information? Now the cargo is gone, the ship is lost too, boss, what do we do now?”
Blood Sea Wave, staring at the familiar ship corridor in the video and the dimly seen female pirate swinging her bloody knife, was so shocked that he didn’t have the time to listen to Skyshattering Cannon’s complaints and said impatiently, “I told you, you’ll be compensated with a bounty!”
Skyshattering Cannon was relentless: “Boss, I know you got a lot of RMB, but Gold Coins are the hard currency in the game! They’re the real value now. Even our studio doesn’t sell Gold Coins during the starting stages. We lost 10,000 Gold Coins worth of cargo, 10,000 Gold Coins! Nowadays, you can’t buy them even if you have money; this is our brothers’ blood earnings from grinding day and night for a week. Boss, your bounty doesn’t do us justice! Who will care about your server-wide bounty next time?”
Blood Sea Wave grew more impatient, “10,000 each person!”
Skyshattering Cannon finally chuckled, “As expected from the big boss, generous as always. Our brothers didn’t die in vain! We’ll be here for you if you need us in Elorin.”
Blood Sea Wave chuckled, “I feel like you guys still died in vain. I’d like to ask you for a small favor.”
Skyshattering Cannon was taken aback, “We don’t even have a boat now…”
Blood Sea Wave sneered, “I think he’s not infamous enough yet, I want to make him a superstar. So I’d like you to help me spread the word in the city; people who die because of him, I’ll pay them double bounty as compensation for their lost cargo. Anyway, since that garbage lost its reputation, let’s make it lose more so it can’t dock anymore. Best if it goes on a long exile ‘overseas’!”
Skyshattering Cannon laughed, “Sure thing, it’s a small effort!” The so-called overseas vacation was, of course, referring to those notorious players banished to remote places by the system.
Blood Sea Wave let out a long sigh. After experiencing the initial shock, Blood Sea Wave began to feel numb. That he snatched away the rewards from my God-level Hero, no matter how this garbage develops, it’s nothing shocking anymore. What’s crucial is, the video signals he’s hired a Pirate Hero, and it’s an enviable beautiful hero. What does this indicate? It indicates he has been ashore, and ashore on pirate territory at that.
From the prompt message indicating everyone lost their purchase orders after being killed, it seems the pirate profession is indeed powerful at loot plundering! Blood Sea Wave’s heart pounded—I work hard running business, how can it compare to the effortless pirate trade? When I was on the deserted island, wasn’t I planning to become a pirate and rob NPC merchant convoys?
Seeing that this Da Fei hasn’t even changed careers yet, the prerequisite for peaceful contact with pirates surely is not changing careers. And coincidentally, with many things ongoing at the studio these days, I haven’t had time to level up and change careers; I should meet the conditions to see pirates.
Decided, be a pirate! Knightly priests are too conservative, truly unsuitable for naval warfare, only pirates do justice to my God-level specialty!
Blood Sea Wave immediately shared his plan with Brother Tian, Shaodong, and Little Ma. Everyone exclaimed, “We’ve all changed professions, and now you tell us?”
Blood Sea Wave laughed, “Brothers, still walk the righteous path. After I become a pirate, all the loot I rob will be handed over to you guys to sell.”
Shaodong wondered, “But now we run a studio, right? If becoming a pirate tarnishes our reputation, wouldn’t it be troublesome?”
Brother Tian chuckled, “It’s fine, reputation is nothing. Some people spend their whole lives as good people, only to do one wrong deed at the end and get criticized, their lifelong reputation ruined. Some people eat, drink, and dominate their entire lives as evil ones, but in the end, turn over a new leaf and are praised as reforming prodigals. You tell me, do you want to be good first or be bad first?”
Everyone laughed heartily, “That’s no question! Of course, indulge in wealth, make everyone fear us, and then become good people. At that time, others would be grateful, kowtow to us, and grovel!”
Blood Sea Wave laughed heartily, “Brother Tian is correct. We should upgrade ourselves by any means. Even if the homeland curses us, it doesn’t matter. In the future, we can go to the National War Zone to fight foreigners, fight Koreans. We are national heroes. Who will dare speak against us?”
Everyone laughed heartily, “Sure! Atao, go sail without worries. We’ve got the shore!”
…
At this time, Da Fei was sweating profusely moving goods on the ship, when Catherine suddenly alerted, “Captain, another small boat is approaching us!”
Huh? One boat? Da Fei immediately took out the binoculars for a look, sure enough, a little white sail from afar was riding the waves; it really was a small boat.
Damn! Are you kidding me, a single small boat dares to rob me? The previous twenty boats were already beaten by me, I bet your Chamber of Commerce channel has already blown up. Yet you still dare to come alone? Could it be an ultimate master capable of taking down cities single-handedly?
Da Fei’s heart tensed up, he looked more closely, Player name “One Sword Westward”! Damn, what a name! Seems like an expert!
