Never doubt the ships of the Purple Moon era.
Even though they looked backward compared to the high-tech ships of the old civilization, they looked more like ships from the 17th or 18th century of the old civilization.
But because of the mysterious high-tech, the power contained in them was extremely strong.
Even though the ships were made of wood, due to the great mutation of the Purple Moon, many plants had mutated in an unpredictable manner, thus providing them with materials unimaginable by the old civilization. Some of them were even stronger than steel.
Extremely powerful propulsion, coupled with the light wooden hull, it was a wonderful combination.
Therefore, the captain might have said that the ships would go all out in his excitement, but as a matter of fact, he did not even need to go all out to drag the five giant whales back to the port.
On top of that, he did not have to worry about safety. Even though Darkness Port was chaotic and lawless, as long as there were rules, they would not be broken.
Darkness Port was also a safe city that relied on the sea. Compared to the rules in the city, there were only power and money, but there were a few iron rules at sea.
One of them was that the moment a big net with a catch was hung on a ship, the catch would belong to the ship and no other ship was allowed to snatch it away.
Without this rule, the ships that sailed out to sea might kill each other for the sake of profit, and the pillar industry of Darkness Port would surely collapse.
Therefore, Darkness Port was a mystical place. Every single rule in the city seemed to be perfect and perfect.
Tang Ling sat on the railing and looked down at the dense crowd below.
After the morning hunt and the return time, it was only nine in the morning.
However, the port area of Darkness Port was already filled with people. Without a doubt, they were all there to purchase the goods.
Rumor had it that the port area of the island area was even livelier.
"Hmph, I heard that the morning market at the port of the old civilization ends at dawn." Odeon bit his cigarette as he said to Tang Ling. He seemed to be extremely interested in the old civilization.
"There will always be changes. The fishes of the Purple Moon era aren't active at night anyway." Tang Ling shrugged.
The captain announced that he and Odeon were the first in the hunt. According to the rules, Odeon and Tang Ling would be given 200 Black Sea coins each.
Odeon was an official sailor while Tang Ling was just a servant.
However, the money would only be given after the goods were sold. There was no doubt that the people on the ship were extravagant, including the captain. They did not have much savings.
The five Requiem Whales caused an uproar in the port as expected. Tang Ling felt that the crowd below was a little noisy.
When the Requiem Whale's carcass was pulled ashore, it set off a wave of bidding war.
"Odeon, how much money do you have?" Tang Ling squinted his eyes at the crowd and suddenly asked the most inappropriate question.
Can a sailor have money?
Odeon wanted to mock him, but he remembered that Tang Ling was a miracle kid. He blushed and said softly, "Around 800 Black Sea coins."
It seemed that it was shameful for a person on a ship to admit to having savings.
However, Odeon had a beloved daughter, and he had to secretly squeeze out a considerable amount of money to save for his daughter's future.
"Very good." Tang Ling gave him a big thumbs up and placed his hand on Odeon's shoulder. "You've been on this ship for a long time. Based on what you know, how many people have savings on this ship? I've been working here for half a month and I have almost 200 Black Sea coins in my account. "
"I need to gather 5,000 Black Sea coins now, and I'll have to pay for it. If you want to get rich, follow me. I'll show you miracles. "
"Really?" Odeon was doubtful. Miracles kept happening to this kid?
He spent most of his time on the ship and rarely paid attention to the news in the city, so he was not familiar with Tang Ling at first. It was only after his daughter told him that he knew Tang Ling was one of the top geniuses in the city, at least in terms of reputation.
No matter how isolated he was, he still knew a thing or two about the gathering of geniuses in the city.
Odeon had been working with Tang Ling for half a month and had witnessed all kinds of miracles. He also understood why Tang Ling was one of the top geniuses.
So, what was wrong with trusting him a little more?
"Fine. Just you wait. I know the color of the underwear of these guys on the ship. It's not a big deal, "Odeon boasted.
"Hurry up. Time is running out." Tang Ling stared at the crowd below the ship.
Without a doubt, the crowd had started bidding fiercely, and the main target was the king fish.
Maybe because the captain wanted to get a good start when the fish's belly was cut open, he purposely announced the bidding for the king fish first.
After all, when the Requiem Ambergris was cut open, it would stimulate a lot of people's nerves.
Odeon had a general idea of what Tang Ling wanted to do. His heart was filled with questions, but he still went to carry out his task.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling wanted to gamble on whales.
The Requiem Ambergris was usually found in the whale's stomach and mixed with all kinds of food. In short, even with the most advanced equipment, it was hard to determine whether there was Requiem Ambergris in the whale's stomach or not.
Unless he used some expensive super-advanced equipment, it would be hard to determine.
After all, the structure of the Requiem Ambergris was very special. It was similar to a fish bone with only a slight difference. Without super-advanced equipment, it would be hard to determine anything.
However, using super-advanced equipment would be crazy. The cost would be very high! Who would be willing to do that? Any careless mistake would result in a loss.
Therefore, whale gambling was comparable to the crazy stone gambling of the old civilization.
Why was Tang Ling so confident? If he was confident, he would have been rich a long time ago. 5,000 Black Sea coins was a scary sum.
Even though Odeon was anxious, he trusted Tang Ling, so no matter how anxious he was, he would clench his teeth and press on.
Since he was a veteran sailor, Odeon managed to convince a few sailors with savings to join Tang Ling's operation.
Did they not know what Tang Ling was trying to do? Only Odeon returned to Tang Ling's side and asked, "Are you confident?"
"70%." Tang Ling did not lie to Odeon. 70% was enough for him to take the gamble.
Odeon did not know that Tang Ling's Precise Instinct was able to see through the internal structure of the whale through the spirit visualization method.
On top of that, with the help of the spirit formation, Tang Ling clearly felt that he had improved again.
Back in the day, he was close to a certain threshold again and again, but he could not break through it. Based on his calculations, he would need a certain amount of time to break through, but now, he had successfully broken through.
Therefore, he was able to see the internal structure of the whale even more clearly.
Although he could not differentiate the fish bone from the Requiem Ambergris, Tang Ling's Precise Instinct allowed him to compare all kinds of details such as the shape of the fish bone and the characteristics of the Requiem Ambergris.
That was why Tang Ling was 70% confident.
If Tang Long was around and knew about the characteristics of Tang Ling's spirit visualization method, he might be disappointed.
Tang Ling entered the second level just like that!
Holding the crystal cards that he had collected, Tang Ling jumped down from the boat with a rope under Odeon's anxious gaze and squeezed into the crowd.
The crowd was still excited about the king whale when the price had already reached 11000 Black Sea coins.
It was a sky-high price. In other seasons, a Requiem Whale, even a king whale, would only cost 2000 Black Sea coins.
Fortunately, Tang Ling's target was not the king whale but the smallest female whale.
Under normal circumstances, a bigger whale would have a higher chance of producing Requiem Ambergris than a smaller one, and a male whale would have a higher chance of producing Requiem Ambergris than a female whale.
With that thought in mind, the smaller female whale should not attract much attention, so the price should not be that high either. 5000 Black Sea coins should be enough.
Tang Ling was not that confident because he felt that his luck was off the charts today. Not only did he hunt a group of Requiem Whales, but he also found an unpopular whale that might contain Requiem Ambergris.
If 5000 Black Sea coins were not enough, Tang Ling could only assume that he was a little unlucky. He had no other choice but to wait for the next chance.
The lively whale gambling was still going on.
In the end, the king whale was bought by a merchant from the True Capital for 12700 Black Sea coins.
Maybe because of the lively atmosphere, the merchant requested for the abdomen to be opened right away.
Under the crowd's gaze, a piece of Requiem Ambergris that weighed 11 kgs was taken out. Some of it was of high quality and most of it was of medium to high quality.
"F * ck! It's going up! It's going up! Even if this piece of Requiem Ambergris isn't auctioned off, the trading companies in Darkness Port can buy it for at least 20,000 Black Sea coins. "
"Why would the trading companies buy it? They'll cut it up and sell it for at least 50,000 Black Sea coins."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I had the money!"
The crowd's discussion pushed the atmosphere to a climax. The captain had a symbolic pipe in his mouth and a smile on his face.
Since the first king whale had delivered such a satisfactory result, it meant that the next Requiem Whale would fetch a good price as well.
Just as the captain expected, the second Requiem Whale was sold for 9,000 Black Sea coins.
It was the second largest Requiem Whale and it was a male. Although the price was crazy, it was not unreasonable.
However, luck was not always on his side. There was no Requiem Ambergris in the second Requiem Whale's belly.
It was normal since one was willing to bet and one had to be willing to lose. It was not like the merchants could not afford to lose more than 7,000 Black Sea coins.
Then, the price of the third whale dropped a little and it was sold for 7,500 Black Sea coins.
Fortunately, there was a small piece of Requiem Ambergris in the third whale's belly. It was not a huge profit, but it was impossible for them to lose money.
The fourth whale was a female whale. The crowd's enthusiasm dropped a little and it was sold for only 6,200 Black Sea coins.
As expected, the female whale did not get anything.
It was then that Tang Ling finally found his target. Due to the ups and downs of the whale gambling, the crowd calmed down a little. For a while, no one was willing to bid for the smallest female whale.
The captain was not in a hurry either. He waited patiently. He never doubted the gambling nature of humans.
Tang Ling believed that he could not wait for the crowd to bid anymore. He wanted to use his contribution to seal the deal.
With that in mind, Tang Ling walked to the captain. "Captain, can you sell this female whale to me?"
The captain was slightly surprised. "Miracle Kid, why do you want to buy it? Don't place your hopes on gambling. "
"I need money, but I don't have a lot of channels to earn it. What can I do? "Tang Ling shrugged.
Nowadays, young geniuses were training themselves and working hard to earn money. Even if Tang Ling was one of the top geniuses, it was normal for him to need money.
As a matter of fact, other than people like Tang Long, who was like the prince of a powerful faction, most of the young geniuses had to go through the business of earning money. Many factions treated it as training.
The captain was not surprised by Tang Ling's words.
He might have given Tang Ling advice out of goodwill, but how much affection could he have for Tang Ling after working on the ship for half a month? Let's get back to business.
"My dear Tang, I know you contributed a lot to this whale hunt, but business is business. But business is business. You know I have a ship full of people to feed, and my ship needs constant maintenance … "The captain removed the pipe in his mouth, but his attitude was still considered honest.
After all, he had a good impression of Tang Ling.
"Fixed price: 5,000 Black Sea coins. It's a little low, but I picked the worst one, am I right? "It was best not to play any tricks when dealing with the captain. Being straightforward was the best.
"Hmm." The captain was calculating.
"Maybe you can get 5,500 Black Sea coins if you auction it. Other than 5,000 Black Sea coins, I don't have anything more than that. I'll leave it up to you. "Tang Ling was straightforward, and it was actually the most effective way.
The captain fell into deep thought. The last Requiem Whale might be able to fetch him 5,500 Black Sea coins, but was the extra 500 Black Sea coins a lot? To the captain, 500 Black Sea coins was not a big deal.
However, selling it to the people on his ship at a low price would earn him a good reputation.
On top of that, Tang Ling was a young genius, one of the best. Gaining his friendship would be a good deal.
"Thank you, everyone, for your enthusiasm for the Requiem Whale. However, we won't be auctioning the last Requiem Whale. We've decided to sell it privately. Thank you, everyone. " The captain made his decision a minute later. The crowd was not too disappointed because the chance of getting the Requiem Ambergris from the last whale was too slim.
Tang Ling finally bought the Requiem Whale at the price of 5,000 Black Sea coins. When he passed the few crystal cards with all kinds of restrictions removed to the captain, Odeon's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
5,000 Black Sea coins! Did he just hand it over like that? What if he did not get the Requiem Ambergris? Odeon felt like he was dreaming.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, was very calm. The probability of winning was only 7%.
He actively found a whale cutter, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the smallest female whale was also hung up.
Even though most of the people thought the female whale would never get the Requiem Ambergris, they were still willing to watch the thrilling process of opening the whale.
Tang Ling was standing under the giant carcass of the Requiem Whale as he watched the cutter skillfully slice open the whale's belly. Then, he found the giant stomach.
Then, the whale's stomach was taken out, and with a single slice, all kinds of food residue were exposed, emanating a horrible stench.
Under such circumstances, the probability of getting the Requiem Ambergris was even lower. Everything in sight was food.
The cutter also wanted to stop, but Tang Ling said, "Don't rush.
Let's take out the food first. "Tang Ling smiled calmly because he knew he had won.
Tang Ling's smile was calm because he knew he had won the bet.
