"Welcome to the great Mister Bacon's alchemy laboratory. Every equipment can only have one additional effect, it cannot coexist with other alchemy effects or magic effects. You have the honor of receiving the following alchemy services:
"Increase the damage of weapons by 1-1. Fee: 100 pounds sterling or 1000 utility points. "
"Increase the ability to absorb damage by 1% for defensive equipment. Fee: 100 pounds sterling or 1000 utility points. "
"Increase the movement speed of shoes by 20 points. Fee: 500 pounds sterling or 5000 utility points. "(This property cannot be used, because you do not have any footwear equipment.) (Incidentally, Sheyan's current maximum movement speed is related to agility, roughly 220 points.)
"Increase the ammunition capacity of firearms type equipment. (Cost: 1000 pounds sterling or 10000 utility points) (This attribute cannot be used because you are not equipped with firearms) (This attribute is of little value to submachine guns and the like. But to the single shot muskets of this world, it represents a fundamental change) (1) (1) (1) (1) (2) (2)
"You can only receive the above services."
Sheyan stared dumbfoundedly at the list of notifications. After receiving the loot bonus from Captain Ammand, he thought it was already a huge sum of money. But now it seems like this pound sterling could not be brought out of this world, nor could it be exchanged for utility points. But it seems like it could still play an important role in certain situations. Sheyan fished out his now shriveled up money pouch. Although there was still the sound of pound sterling clinking inside, Sheyan could already feel the deep feeling of regretting not having enough money when it was time to use it.
After paying 200 pounds sterling, Sheyan increased the damage of his cobalt steel exoskeleton by 1-1. That special FBI windbreaker also added a damage absorption attribute of 1%. But currently, he was only left with about 2 pounds sterling, once again returning to his impoverished state when he first entered this world. Alchemist Bacon's attitude towards Sheyan finally became more courteous after Sheyan paid. Thus, he reluctantly replied to Sheyan's inquiry.
"What? You asked me how to activate a higher level service. Oh, my god, why did I hear such a stupid question. Child, alchemy is a sacred work that consumes a lot of wealth. Therefore, to provide a higher level of service, it would mean that you would need to expend more expensive materials, and pay an even more terrifying cost. Therefore, to obtain a higher level of service, the only way is to prove that you have the ability to pay. Only when your total spending here reaches a certain level will you be recognized by me. "
"Alright, alright. When Sheyan left, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to earn money. However, it seemed that the only way he could get money right now was to gamble in bars. Nevertheless, these pirates were rather shrewd. Although Sheyan relied on his high perceptive sensing to win more than he lost, and even ingeniously set up some traps to intentionally lose, the pirates seemed to have a bottom line in their hearts. That was, after losing 2-3 pounds, they would stop playing. Hence, after toiling for an entire afternoon, Sheyan could only earn a dozen or so pounds. Such a speed was simply too inefficient to satisfy that greedy Mr Bacon's appetite.
That night, Sheyan returned to his cabin and prepared to rest. After all, he still had to train with Blind Matt tomorrow morning. If he could maintain his peak condition, then he might even be able to upgrade his basic footwork by a level. But at this moment, Chris slipped into his cabin. Looking at his fake smile and rubbing his hands together, Sheyan vigilantly covered his wallet and asked.
"What are you trying to do? “
Chris laughed and replied.
"I heard you received quite a bit of dividends last time? I'm referring to the pound sterling of this world. “
Sheyan calmly replied.
"Nope. “
Chris was like a chicken that was choked by its neck, he suddenly cried out in exasperation.
"How is that possible? Xiaer clearly said that Ammand gave you a few hundred pounds. "
"That's my business alright?" Sheyan bluntly replied.
Chris spread out his hands and helplessly replied.
"Oh, don't be like that brother, I'm not taking your money for free. I'll use utility points to buy your pound sterling alright? 500 utility points for 500 pounds! “
If Sheyan didn't go to the alchemist's shop today, he might have really made a deal. But now he knew that Chris's price was unreliable, he held back his anger and replied.
"What do you need so much money for? “
Chris was obviously prepared, his saliva splattered as he replied.
"Hey brother, I'm currently in the middle of a mission, this mission requires a huge amount of pound sterling to deal with those * * storyline characters. Finally, it will open the door to an alchemist's laboratory, it can increase our equipment with all sorts of mystical attributes. Think about it, it's for us! Don't hesitate, give me the money. “
Sheyan coldly replied.
"The alchemist you're talking about is called Bacon right? “
Chris was stunned for 3 seconds.
"Oh, shit! How did you know? “
Sheyan took out a heavy money pouch, the sound of coins clinking against each other could be heard. Chris's eyes once again exposed a greedy hope.
"Listen, I know more than you, honestly tell me what you need the 500 pounds for, I'll give you this money pouch. “
"You promise? Do you dare to use your nightmare imprint to verify? “
"No problem. “
"Fine, you win. That * * * old bastard squeezes money to an outrageous degree, if you're willing to pay double the alchemy price, then you can obtain the alchemy scrolls for this service. This item can be brought out of the nightmare realm! There are some high quality and popular alchemy scrolls that can be sold for a relatively high profit. Give me the money pouch! "
Sheyan nodded, tossing the heavy money pouch over. He then chased Chris out of the cabin and locked the door. He then placed his hands behind his head and lazily laid down on his bed. Very quickly, he heard a mournful scream from outside, that voice belonged to Chris. The reason for the scream was obviously because that seemingly * * * money pouch was filled with pennies (British currency). It was similar to China's Fen. 1 pound sterling = 240 pennies (1 shilling = 12 pennies, 1 pound sterling = 20 shillings)
When the expectant Chris opened up the money pouch, the huge disappointment in his heart was unimaginable. Furthermore, this money pouch was a prop used by an astute gambler to disguise himself as a rich man. Of course, his outcome was to be beaten up by the pirates and tossed onto the streets. His only fortune was taken away by Sheyan to repay his gambling debt. After Sheyan received this news, he instantly understood why that damned Old Bill would value the token so highly. In fact, it was indeed so, as long as one had a certain charm and sufficient funds after obtaining the cross, then one could at least earn back 100% of the profits!
Chris obviously didn't have the guts to return and argue with Sheyan. Because logically speaking, his dealings with Sheyan were far worse than before. Sheyan's actions were merely to collect a little interest. Instead, Sheyan didn't close his eyes to sleep, his lips curled into a mocking smile, as though he was waiting for something. Not long later, a short and light knocking sound could be heard. Sheyan's eyes flickered as he asked.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Mr Crew Head." The one who spoke was shockingly the second officer, Robben.
This man hurriedly ran over and said.
"I have no choice but to inform you, your cousin is currently using your name to borrow money. On one hand, he is constantly promoting your close relationship, on the other hand, he isn't hesitant to borrow money with high interest. If he doesn't return the loan and interest when the time comes, then I'm afraid he will be in big trouble, and you will be in a very passive position. "
Very obviously, this was the counterattack of the crafty Chris. Since Sheyan had previously described their relationship to be extremely intimate, then he would take advantage of the situation to magnify this originally fictitious intimacy, and use Sheyan's reputation to borrow money! After pondering for a while, Sheyan opened the cabin door to look for Chris. But he had obviously underestimated Chris's ability to adapt. When he reached the deck, Chris had already boarded a barge and rowed a few metres towards the shore. His hands were carrying an extremely large and clinking money pouch. More importantly, it was filled to the brim with sterling!
Looking at Sheyan who was standing on the deck, Chris laughed delightfully, shouting out loudly.
"Dearest cousin, don't worry, I have set the repayment date to 7 days later."
Very obviously, 7 days later, the two contestants would have already returned to the present world. But, who could say for sure if Chris would still enter here in the future? Once he entered, he might not necessarily enter together with Sheyan. But Chris could no longer approach the Bell and Mug, but Sheyan's hard earned status as crew head could not be easily abandoned! This meant that Chris's rotten debt would most likely be placed on Sheyan's shoulders. If Sheyan reneged on his debt, his reputation would definitely plummet. Obviously Sheyan was aware of this point, he lost his self-control and roared out.
"Don't even think about returning to the ship, wait for the guards of Tortuga port to chase you to death!"
Chris regretfully shrugged his shoulders, smiling as he said.
"I'll immediately return once I'm done with my business, my dearest cousin, don't be angry. My relationship with Mr Xiaer is not bad, even if you don't let me on the ship, he will still accept me. "
Sheyan stared blankly as the ship carrying Chris disappeared into the darkness. His expression was filled with helplessness and anger, but when one neared, one would be able to see his lips curled into a cold smile. It was as if he was a hunter watching his prey fall into a trap! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to come to * * (qidian.com) to vote. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
