Chapter 5 The First Pot of Silver (1)

When Luo Lin arrived at the pier, he saw a group of people surrounding a corner of the pier. In the middle of the crowd, a bald middle-aged man in a decent robe was explaining something loudly, and words such as "sinking ship, salvage" were faintly heard.

It was him, and Luo Lin immediately walked over and asked a tall dock worker standing outside, "Uncle Gutz, what happened here?"

Rollin has been in the dock for five years, and he basically knows the dock workers here. For example, this Gotz is the one who is recognized as the best water quality on the dock.

Seeing that it was Rollin, Gotz explained casually: "The sea merchant Homlin has gone bad luck, the goods have fallen into the water, and is recruiting people to salvage them."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted at the middle-aged man in a rough voice: "No, the price is too low. The sinking place is at least forty meters deep. It will be like going to hell if you dive in. You will only give a silver coin once. Are you sending a beggar?"

Another excuse was given: "Getz is right, add ten more bronzes!"

“Yes, add!”

"No, a silver coin is already very high, and we only take advantage of the boxes in the shallow water area, which will not exceed thirty meters at most." The middle-aged man bit the price and did not relax.

"Lust, don't sniff it. Your owner Homlin's goods are not soaked in water. After a long time, it will be useless to catch them."

"I can't make the decision on this matter." The middle-aged man Rust looked helpless, but he was just a manager. Any specific money-related matters must be returned to Homlin. Even if it's just a few small amounts of money, the money-guarding mist looked very tightly at every copper he had.

"Hey, you're just a dog." Someone who was impatient scolded loudly, but Rast seemed to be very weak. He heard this and just spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he was really powerless.

Luo Lin rolled his eyes while listening. He thought he could increase how much. It turned out that the two sides were fighting for ten copper coins.

The two sides just grind each other. After about half an hour of quarrel, the price still did not rise. Most of the dock workers left and did not take on this dangerous job. Only five people were left on the field.

These five people have the best water quality on the dock. For them, diving and finding goods is not difficult. Although they earn less money at a time, it is better than not. Among them, there is the most fiercer Gates who had quarreled before.

Rust looked at the person, and finally his eyes fell on Rollin, who was standing beside him, and asked unexpectedly: "Young man, what are you doing here?"

"I'll help you get the goods, too." Luo Lin smiled.

Before Rust could speak, Gotz waved his hand impatiently: "Go and go, little guy, this is not a job you can do. Just your body, just go down to feed the fish."

Look at this little guy, his body is as thin as wheat straw, his face is so white that it is a little blue. At first glance, he is a congenital deficit. Such a person goes to deep water to catch things, even if he is not suffocated to death, he will be frozen to death. It is tantamount to letting him die.

"Yes, Rollin, do you know how to deal with the seaweed that wraps your legs? Do you know how to tie a reliable knot to the cargo box to ensure that the hook does not fall off after it is hung? Do you know how to deal with accidentally choking water?" Another dock worker spoke.

"Don't go to die, boy 1"

"We are for your own good."

The five people present persuaded them, out of kindness, but Rollin did not appreciate it, shook his head, and then looked at Rust: "Uncle, I have a good water quality, better than everyone here!"

Rust was a little interested and asked, "How good is it?"

"I can dive for half an hour without breathing." Luo Lin raised his head with a look of pride.

"..." Everyone present was extremely speechless, and they all looked at Luo Lin with the eyes of the madman.

"Are you crazy? The Drats in the south can't do this! Unless you are a real fishman!" Gutz felt that the boy had nothing to say about the big talk, so he said that he was the best water-bearing person on the spot, and he could only hold it in for ten minutes at most.

"Young man, do you dare to give it a try?" Rust became even more interested.

"Of course." Rollin looked at the black water surface in the port and smiled at Rust, "But you know, the water is a little cold now, you have to let me have a full meal so that I won't be frozen to death after entering the water."

After he said this, the dock workers stopped talking. They looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned to help and said to Rust: "Try it, let him try, Rust, try it when you have enough."

Everyone is poor. When they hear Luo Lin's words, they all think that they have found the explanation that Luo Lin said in their wild words. This kid must have been hungry and came to cheat food. Since that's the case, it's nothing to do. After eating, Rollin will definitely be robbed, but at this dock, the dock workers have the final say. What's wrong with you for a meal?

Rust is a good-looking man, but he is not stupid. He was stunned for a moment and figured it out. He smiled bitterly, took out five copper plates from his pocket and handed them to Rollin: "Young man, forget it, don't try it anymore. You can buy some food for this money."

Luo Lin is indeed hungry now. He feels that he can eat an elephant. He knows that this is the brain at work. No matter how lingering the theory of this guy, the final source of energy he absorbs must be from the food that Luo Lin eats, which makes Luo Lin very likely to be hungry.

The hungry Rollin didn't care about the details of dignity and face. He took the copper plate and left a sentence: "Mr. Rust, you will never regret giving this meal, I promise."

After saying that, he went into the bakery next to him to buy food.

Rust smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not take this sentence to heart. He began to instruct the five dock workers' work: "The sailors and laborers on the boat are ready, and you are the 'fishmen' who are going to the water. The plan is like this. We will take the Daiwei to the wreckage site. You will go into the water, tie ropes to every box under the water, and hang hooks..."

"Stop talking nonsense, Rust, we know what to do. Let's go while there is still some time this afternoon." Gates urged.

"Okay, let's get on the boat." Larst nodded and took five dock workers on the boat.

When the group boarded the boat, the sailors on the Daiwei were about to pull back the board and sail out of the port, Rollin rushed out of the dock hotel, chewing the black bread in his hand, shouting loudly: "Wait, I haven't arrived yet, wait for me."

In the captain's room, the captain asked Rust: "Who is that boy?"

"Don't worry about him, drive the boat." Rust waved his hand. He didn't think this boy named Rollin would have any effect on salvageing goods. Such a thin boy, even if he had been holding his breath for a long time? The high pressure in deep water could directly knock him out.

"Wait, let him come up." A soft voice rang in the corner of the captain's room. The owner of the voice was a young woman wearing a light blue long skirt. The gauze on the skirt was like fog and smoke. It was obvious that it was a valuable high-quality product.

She had been sitting on a recliner in the corner before, holding a book in her hand and reading it. It seemed to be a popular knight novel nowadays. She didn't seem to care about the outside world, but she didn't expect that she could hear it.

"Second Miss?" Rast asked in confusion. His attitude was very respectful, not only because he was Homlin's second daughter, but more importantly, this woman was a noble mage.

Homlin's wealth-guarding mistress valued this daughter the most, and the Daiwei ship was named after her.

"I have seen everything on the shore. Since he dares to come over, it means he is really capable. Then give him a chance to make money." The young woman said, and then turned her attention back to the book. For her, this was just a small matter and she didn't worry about it.

Rust had no choice but to walk out of the captain's room and waved to the sailor who stopped Rollin from boarding the boat, shouting: "Let him come up."

Rollin has to get on board.

"sail!"

The first mate shouted, and the sailors in the bottom cabin began to step on the paddles, while the sailors on the deck rose up the sails and began to use the wind. The Daiwei slowly left the port and sailed towards the wreck.

On the deck, when Gotz saw Rollin finally arrived on the deck, he shook his head and sighed: "Boy, you really don't know the world is high."

As he said that, he walked towards the first mate on the deck, pointed at Rollin, and said a few words to him. Then the first mate called a sailor to bring a dagger and handed it to him. He walked back and handed the dagger to Rollin: "At the bottom of the water, seaweed may wrap around your legs and take it to deal with unexpected situations. When you run out, remember to return it. A dagger like this is not cheap."

"Thank you uncle." Luo Lin sincerely thanked the other party for his care, and then took the dagger. The moment the dagger came to his palm, a stream of information flowed through his mind.

"Iron Dagger

Quality: Normal

Craft: Ordinary

Lower limit on power of use: 1.0

Special attributes: None

Attack target level upper limit: 4

Trigger basic skills: sting

Luo Lin is very familiar with this information, but it is exactly the same as in the game. He can only use the daggers to poke people, and even the skills of warriors such as chopping, chopping, slashing, and slashing are useless.

Luo Lin turned his attention to the 'sting' again, and instructions about this skill emerged:

Shock.

Explanation: Coordinate the strength of the whole body, use the tip of the dagger as the burst point of the force, and issue a powerful blow, causing a lot of damage to the enemy. After successful release, the target of the same level is enough to be fatal to one blow!

Skill proficiency: 1/10 (basic)

Start time: 1 second (this time decreases as proficiency increases)

In the "Ancient Gods", the data-based damage has been cancelled and it is more anthropomorphic. Like the real world, any attack you have can break through the opponent's defense and hit the opponent's key points, and you can kill the enemy with one blow, instead of like the original online game, even if you poke ten thousand spears on the opponent's heart, the opponent can still jump around and run around the ground.

After getting the dagger, Rollin made a slight gesture on the deck with his experience in using stabbing in the game, and a familiar feeling suddenly surged up, which was almost exactly the same as in the game.

"Intellectual brain, you're right. The simulatedness of warriors is indeed very high." Luo Lin was happy. In the past, he had complained about the difficulty of releasing skills in the ancient gods game, because playing this game is almost exactly the same as practicing martial arts in reality. It is difficult for ordinary people to play well. Now he finally understands the purpose of doing this.

"The basic physical attack is nearly 100% simulated. If the player has the corresponding physical fitness, a little practice can reproduce any warrior attack skills in the game in the real world. This is an important part of the 'New World' plan."

"You are right, but my body is really too bad, only of inferior quality."

"Don't worry, I'm trying to improve your body quality for you, but you have to eat more, eat whatever you can, and eat more meat."

"knew."

After a brief exchange, several sailors came over with a one-meter-long cargo box and began to show the divers how to bind ropes.

Luo Lin took a look and thought it was very simple. He tried it on the box several times and basically became proficient.

The wreck was near the port, and the Daiwei soon arrived at its destination.

The first mate, a strong man with a beard, shouted loudly and directed the sailors to start busy: "Okay, prepare, rope, come over quickly, hinge rack, rack, you idiot..."

After a while, Rollin was divided into a heavy rope, which he could hardly handle, which was used to bind underwater cargo. Then, ropes with iron hooks at the end were placed down from the edge of the ship, which were used to pull up the cargo box under the water.

"Okay, 'fishmen', let's see you next." The first mate shouted.

Gotz took off his clothes, revealing his strong and strong bronze body, and was the first to jump into the sea, and the other four jumped down. Luo Lin hesitated at the black sea water for a moment, gritted his teeth and took off his clothes. His skinny body was once again questioned.

The first mate walked up, pinched his thin shoulders, looked at his two rows of ribs, and frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to go down and die?"

The other sailors also laughed: "This guy really wants money but lives."

Rollin touched his head and smiled foolishly: "I wasn't full just now. If I gave me a few more black bread, I would definitely be more energetic when I work."

"Okay, since you insist, I will make you a feast." The first mate frowned, but waved his hand, and a sailor brought a large piece of oat bread.

Since the second lady agreed to him get on the boat, I would give him a chance, otherwise with his temper, he would definitely kick this guy down.

Luo Lin sat on the deck and ate all the big piece of oatmeal bread. After eating, he felt that he was still half full. His stomach was now like a bottomless pit, but these things were still effective. At least he was standing barely in the cold wind in the early spring, without feeling cold at all, but his body was warm. He knew that this was the intelligent brain regulating his body temperature.

He originally wanted to order something more, but when he saw the first mate's face full of impatientness, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely better than them."

"Go, I hope you will not be a corpse next time you float from the bottom of the water."

Rollin smiled and tied the dagger to his legs. After thinking about it, he also brought the weapon scroll that Arms gave him. This was a spell scroll, not afraid of blisters. Then he picked up the rope, turned around and jumped out of the sea.

‘Hiss~ It’s so cold.’ The sea water was cold and irritating. Luo Lin felt that the blood in his body was almost frozen. If it were the original Luo Lin, he would be frozen to death within a minute. But now, Luo Lin felt that there was always a warm feeling inside his body, and the blood in his body kept sending this warmth to his limbs and bones to ensure his body temperature.

Anyway, he is safe now.

Because the rope cover on his back was very heavy, he dragged Luo Lin to sink into the water.

He hurriedly stuffed the breathing sol cloth bag he was holding in his hand into his mouth, and then took a deep breath with his mouth, and immediately air penetrated into the cloth bag. Although it was a little difficult to inhale and a little stuffy in his chest, it was still acceptable and there was no sense of suffocation.

He is not afraid of the heavy pressure of deep water, because he believes that the intelligent brain will automatically regulate his body.

Everything was ready and he began to dive under peace of mind.
