Chapter 254 Chain Reaction (Seeking 5-star review)
At the same time, the No. 1 Auction House also followed the development policy formulated by Gel and began to focus on pirate slaves with high bounties. The transaction prices of these pirate slaves were often several times or even dozens of times the bounty amount!
Interests drive people's hearts, where there is demand there is a market, and with the encouragement of the Navy's previous "Death" plan, bounty hunters suddenly became a promising and lucrative profession.
Countless warriors who thought they were capable set sail and became bounty hunters. Bounty hunters became an important new force in the fight against pirates.
During this period, a mysterious seller steadily supplied the No. 1 Auction House with several pirate slaves with bounties of over 100 million yuan. Rumors spread that the mysterious seller was actually a powerful general in the navy, who secretly took private jobs to make extra money. In order to maintain a good cooperative relationship, Charlie acted decisively and quickly stopped the spread of these "rumors".
The high-ranking naval officers thought that the previous strategy had achieved results far beyond their expectations, and they attached more importance to T. Pengen, the banner that they had finally established. Therefore, the Navy Chief Instructor Zefa personally supervised and guided Pengen's training, determined to make him a true "God of Death Pengen"!
Captain Gill, the instigator and the one who triggered a series of chain reactions, was completely unaware of this and continued to eat, drink, fish and play cards every day.
...
"One-two-one! One-two-one!"
"Further forward!"
"Okay! Stop, stop, stop!"
"Put it down slowly. Put it down, put it down, put it down! Keep putting it down!"
"Stop! That's it!"
...
City of Seven Waters
The dock was bustling with activity.
The boat builders received wages that were twice as high as usual, and they could also purchase some of the most popular daily necessities on the market from Mosan at very favorable prices every day. Although each person was limited to purchase a certain amount per day to prevent people from reselling them directly, the daily necessities they could buy were still quite a lot, enough for several people in the family to use for more than half a month.
One day's salary is enough to cover a family's living expenses for half a month. They are definitely members of the high-income class!
Working for Boss Gel not only allows you to make money, but you can also use your wages after work every day to buy supplies and bring home large and small bags. When you return, you will definitely be praised by your wife.
There are fewer and fewer cargo ships coming to the Seven Water City, and the prices of many things in the market have begun to rise. Some things are no longer available even if you have money, so the goods that Mosan provides them are definitely the most cost-effective and the lowest price on the entire network. Upon hearing the news, all the aunts and uncles came and politely asked them to help bring some supplies if they could.
This made the shipwrights feel proud, and their family and clan status rose rapidly.
I was in a good mood and had more energy to work every day. Even the old shipwright Tom did not expect that the progress of shipbuilding would be so much faster than expected.
...
a week.
After eating and playing enough, the crew members began to return to the old ship one after another. The deck became lively again, making Geer feel as warm as if he was reuniting with his family at home for the New Year.
"Captain, I went to the dock today and Mr. Tom said it might take another two or three days to complete."
Fanny came to Gel, holding the cat Xiaobai and said.
"Oh? So soon? Didn't they say it would take half a month? I thought I would have to wait at least another week! That's great, I can't wait to set sail on the new ship, hahahaha."
Captain Gul slumped on the sofa like an invertebrate, tilted his head back and said "Lazy Sheep".
Although Geer looked calm on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart.
It's like buying a new house and finally waiting for it to be renovated and ready to move in. In his previous life, he wanted to experience this kind of happiness so much. Unfortunately, the money he saved after working hard and living frugally for a year was not enough to buy half a toilet. Now, let alone a house, even a country can be easily obtained as long as he wants it. However, these can no longer make Geer happy.
Bah! How hypocritical!
Gel cursed himself in his heart.
"Yes, because the salary is high and the benefits are good, everyone works very hard and the progress is much faster than expected. By the way, Captain, I have to transplant my flowers and plants into pots first, so that it will be convenient to move them over when the time comes."
As Fanny said this, she handed Xiaobai to Ger and ran to tidy up her small garden.
"Captain! Everyone! We're back!"
Bi Ya started shouting loudly from a distance.
Gel looked in the direction of the voice and saw four figures slowly approaching:
Bia was running in the front holding Stella's hand, while Tezoro and Chef Fate were following behind, each carrying a large white cloth bag on their shoulders.
When the four people came closer, Gel said with a smile:
"Haha, it looks like you all already know each other, so I don't need to introduce you guys again."
"Captain, you are such a fool. You didn't even tell me that new brothers and sisters had joined us. We only found out that they were our companions after we met them on the road and talked with them."
Bi Ya said with her hands on her hips.
"Isn't this good? You got a surprise for nothing."
"Captain, what you said seems to make sense."
Gel smiled, children are easy to deceive, then looked at the two people behind him and asked:
"What are these two big bags of good stuff you are carrying?"
"Hehe, what a good thing! I bet, Captain, you don't know this thing! If you can tell me, I'll consider you awesome!"
"Oh? What's so mysterious? Come on, let me take a look."
Although he didn't know what the stakes of "You're the Best" were, it still immediately aroused the man's damn desire to win.
As Fate spoke, he opened the bag mysteriously, revealing the white, glowing lenses inside.
Gel grinned, but he was too lazy to look at it carefully after just one glance, and said smugly:
"Isn't this the salt brought by the water gods? Tsk, I thought it was something else."
"What? You can even guess this? I only found out by chance by asking an old chef. Captain, are you sure you haven't been here before?"
Fate asked in surprise.
"I haven't been here, but I've read about it in a book. It seems like you still don't know anything about my intelligence capabilities, Fate. Besides, this thing has long been written on Mosan's purchase order. He has already stockpiled quite a bit, which should be enough for us to use for several years. You don't have to carry it all the way back."
Gel continued to attack mercilessly.
"Haha, that won't do. I can't wait even a day. I'm going to use this salt to prepare a sumptuous meal for everyone. Just wait and give me thumbs up!"
Chef Fate raised his thumb confidently, showing his white and shining teeth and uttered harsh words.
"Hehe, then Captain Ben can just sit back and wait for the feast."
Ger said with a smile.
