Chapter 3: Gunpowder and Auctions
According to the direction of the recording pointer, Weir sailed for almost half a month and finally saw the island.
But this island is a bit strange, because the port is almost full of ships, and there are all kinds of ships, but most of them are pirate ships.
The dock was full of pirates and small workers who moved goods, which seemed very prosperous.
After Weir parked the boat, he walked straight to the island, not worried about the safety of the boat at all.
Because Weir's original design required input of a certain intensity of electricity in the cab to start the ship, and this intensity has been modified by Weir. Only Weir knows how much it is.
In other words, Vier is the key to the entire ship, and others don’t even go in. Moreover, Adam Wood is the most suitable firewood for shipbuilding, and the hardness is not enough. So Vier is very relieved.
Seeing these fierce pirates in front of him, Vir was very surprised because they were bargaining with the merchants on the dock, not knowing what they were saying, some were frowning, and some were ecstatic.
After inquiring from multiple sources, Weir knew the reason for all this.
The island in front of you is called Tutu Island, which produces gunpowder. While producing gunpowder, it means that its secondary industry is various weapons such as cannons, guns and ammunition.
The sale of weapons often represents huge benefits, so many pirate groups and nobles were stationed here. Fortunately, the aristocrats' intervention made the navy unable to control this island rich in gunpowder. Therefore, the government sent larger aristocrats to integrate multiple families into one, and finally controlled them by the aristocrats, forming a chamber of commerce organization.
Pirates are responsible for trafficking and transportation in illegal areas, such as small countries or two families that are fighting. The nobles are responsible for legal aspects, such as navy and world government franchises.
The two sides reached a special balance.
If there is any profit, someone will develop it. A industrial chain with such a huge profit has brought a large population and abnormal prosperity to Tutu Island.
Entering the town on Tutu Island, this is a town much larger than the town of Roger. It can no longer be described as a town. It is simply a small kingdom and extremely prosperous.
Ville wandered around the streets. Because of the comfortable climate, there were many ordinary residents on the island, and the commercial streets occupied half of the island on Tutu Island.
Looking at the various snacks on the roadside or luxurious restaurants, Weir certainly can't let it go.
After some snacks, I found a very luxurious restaurant.
After going there, Weir discovered that the restaurants in Roger Town were weak and were simply a small palace.
The receptionist at the door enthusiastically helped find a seat to sit down, and immediately a young and beautiful waitress came over to entertain her.
"Sir, do you have an appointment? If not, I will report you today's special dishes and various dishes in our store." The beautiful waiter's voice was very nice and soft.
"Oh? Today's special dishes? Tell me, what's there?" Weir had only heard of special dishes before. This was the first time he heard of the special dishes that day. After all, the transportation between Pirate World Island and the island was not well developed.
The meat on the ship on the Ville, who had been out of the sea for a while, had not decreased at all, and had also become more. He forgot to kill many of the Aquamans who wanted to attack him. It can be seen that in addition to the weather, other aspects of the Great Way are also very dangerous.
"Today's special dishes include the large-scale Neptune series of barbecue, cannonball fish soup, and golden lamb chop rice." The beautiful waiter called out a few dishes and waited for Weir to respond.
Weir couldn't believe at first that this restaurant actually had large sea kings and golden goats. As for bomb fish, I haven't heard of them at all.
After ordering without hesitation, Weir began to wait for the food to be served.
While waiting, chatted with the waiter.
Through chatting, I learned that the largest auction hall on the island will start monthly auction tomorrow, and the specific content is unknown.
When he heard about the auction, Weir was also very interested and asked how the scale was. The waiter proudly said that even the devil fruit would not not be able to appear.
Weir was more interested and decided to go and have a look tomorrow.
After a while, the delicious food was served. Weir first smelled a strange umami smell, which was the smell of bomb fish soup. After taking a sip, Weir felt that the fresh fragrance exploded in his own taste. He immediately knew the meaning of bomb fish. He ate other delicacies with the wind and enjoyed it.
After paying the bill, Weir slowly walked out of the restaurant because Weir rarely had enough food.
When I returned to my own boat, there were no pirates who were blind and made trouble. I first went to the training room for basic training every day, and then went to bed.
The next day, after getting up, Weir got a box of Baileys, about 100 million, and headed straight to the auction in the town.
I had already inquired about the good places yesterday. When I arrived today, I found that there were many people queuing up at the door, and the auction was held at 8 o'clock on time.
Weir followed the queue in line, but after a while, a man in black walked out of the auction.
"Sir, if there are products you like in the auction today, how much do you plan to consume?" The man in black first bowed very politely, and then asked Vier.
"I don't know how much I consume. I see if there will be good things in the auction. If I meet something I like, I can still accept it for about 100 million Baileys." Weir felt that the man in black was like an auctioneer, so he casually replied.
The man's eyes were shining, and he whispered in Vir's ear, and then took Vir to the small door next to him.
The man in black just now told Vill that as long as he carries more than 100 million Baileys, he doesn't have to queue up. After verification, he goes directly to the VIP seat in the front row.
After checking Bailey with the man in black, the man in black became even more polite and led Wei into the auction.
After entering, Weir found that the auction house was much larger than he thought, and it was in a stepped shape.
The man in black led Ville directly to bring the front row. The front row and the back were different in the layout. Instead, there were several round tables placed with a spacious sofa next to it. After settling in Ville, the man in black turned around and went out to entertain other guests.
Sitting in the front row, Vill found that there were already several people in the front row, a serious yellow old man, a middle-aged fat man covered in jewelry, and a black robe and a hood, unable to see his appearance and age at all. Finally, he was a woman with a noble lady.
After looking at them a few times, Weir felt that it was meaningless and not very good, especially the fat man, who looked too indulged in desire and felt weak all over.
After waiting for more than an hour, the auction began. The rear seats were almost full of people, and there were more than a dozen VIP seats in the front row.
The host on the stage was actually a little giant, five or six meters tall, and his loud voice didn't use a microphone at all.
After taking the stage, the little giant first introduced himself, and then began to liven up the atmosphere.
Weir felt a little surprised. Although most of the giants I knew before were a bit funny, it was the first time I saw it so funny, and I couldn't help laughing.
Not long after, the host saw that the time was almost done, so he cleared his throat.
"Gentlemen, girls, I won't say much extra nonsense. I'll introduce you to today's appetizer, 150 cannons and 10,000 guns, no reserve price, please bid for it." The little giant just finished introducing the product, and exclaimed one day off the stage.
The cannons are nothing at that time, but ten thousand guns are not a small number. It is enough to fight a war between small countries.
The people in the front row seemed to have no interest, but there were constant bidding sounds from the audience. In the end, the deal was made for 40 million Baileys. The one who won was a young man, staring at a bald man not far away. It seemed that these weapons were to be used to deal with this bald man.
Next, a few items were auctioned one after another. Weir only bought a black pocket watch made of rare metal, and a red w carved on the front, which made Weir like it very much. He spent two million Baileys and had no interest in the others.
The host also saw that the mood was not high on the scene and could only take out a treasure from today.
"Next, I will bring you a rare product. I was originally going to be auctioned in Shampoo, but I was intercepted by our auction house. That is Joanna, a mermaid from Fishman Island. The price is 100 million Bailey."
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the audience, and occasionally saliva was swallowing.
Weir sat in the front row and felt the madness of human trafficking for the first time, especially the fat man covered in jewelry beside him. The light from his eyes was almost pierced through the sealed fish tank on the table.
"One hundred million, I'm going to make a decision."
"One Thirty million."
"One 70 million."
The guests in the audience seemed to have all started to riot. The fat man covered in jewelry didn't bid at the beginning. After waiting for a while, he saw that the time was almost right, so he roared.
"Three hundred million."
The audience suddenly became silent, and the fat man covered in jewelry was also blushing. It was rare to auction mermaids on Tutu Island. As for the mermaids in the Shampoo auction hall, he didn't dare to think about it. It was almost a special show for the Tianlong people, and he didn't dare to buy it if he had money.
In the end, he bought the fishman for 300 million yuan, and the mermaid in the bathtub had no change in expression. The fishman's heart was dead, and the rest was just a walking corpse.
After the climax of this auction, there are some goods that can only be considered expensive but not rare and a few human slaves.
Until there was a product that made Weir's eyes unable to move away. It was a not very thick note.
The host's introduction is a domineering method of cultivation.
After the host introduced it, most of the people in the audience didn't know what domineeringness was. Only a small number of people showed a look of surprise in their eyes, including Weir.
Weir felt very lucky, but he didn't expect to encounter a domineering practice method at the auction.
"Then, because of its special nature, the product below does not have a reserve price, and it is free to bid."
The old man with yellow hair sitting in the front row with a serious face and spoke first.
"Fifty million Baileys, the domineering method of cultivation, I, Gat, and the captain of the Angry Lion Pirates, are about to be decided." After saying that, he leaned on the sofa easily, showing a very confident look, confident in his reputation as the Pirates.
Unfortunately, he met Weir today. Weir didn't care about his words and made a light bid.
"Sixty million Baileys."
Gat opened his eyes angrily, looked at Vir, and continued to increase the price with an ugly face.
"Seventy million Baileys."
Weir looked at Gat, not wanting to argue with the other party anymore, and his voice increased a little.
"One hundred million Bailey"
After saying that, he looked at Gatt. If he raised the price, Weir would not have enough money.
Weir doesn't value money. He values strength. Dominance is undoubtedly the basis for establishing a foothold in the world. Without dominance, it is too difficult to deal with the natural system and requires attribute restraint. However, not every natural system has obvious shortcomings as obvious as a sand crocodile.
So, if this guy in front of him increases the price, Weir will make them angry Lion Pirates today and turn them into the Dead Lion Pirates.
Unexpectedly, Gat did not continue to increase the price, his face became extremely gloomy, and he walked out of the auction house.
Weir looked at Gat's reaction and laughed, not just laughing at the other party's final relinquishment, because he felt that this matter would never end like this.
Thinking of this, Weir became happier the more he smiled, and finally showed his white teeth.
Today is destined to be a very interesting day. I haven’t killed anyone for a long time. I would use a sentence from my previous life to describe it.
‘Murdering is a bad habit, but I can’t seem to quit’. Haha, haha. Weir in the auction house laughed wildly.
Chapter completed!
