Chapter 43: Tears of God

In public, he put the cloth on the ruler and measured it, and the atmosphere exploded at once. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luffy just divided part of his mind to observe, but he didn't pay attention to it, because the money he got this time was really a bit beyond the norm, and it felt a little ...... The fog of not knowing.

It just so happened that there were a lot of nobles watching below, he put on a little makeup, changed his appearance, and turned into a young and successful little businessman who was lost in the turbid world.

He pretended to come in a hurry, looked around, and sat down beside an old and unproductive merchant, who looked a little thin, and his clothes were clean, but very old.

The information that Luffy has obtained records such a person, he is also a young man who became famous, but unfortunately he is ruthless, he does not have the conscience of a capitalist, he has been dull, and the Chamber of Commerce has been hovering between not losing money all year round.

"There's something wrong with the boat...... It's been a long time. As soon as Luffy sat down, he chatted with the old merchant and said, "How is the auction...... I wanted to see the world. ”

The old businessman smiled and glanced at the young man next to him, as if he remembered his previous self, he did have a very clean temperament, so he said more: "That one by one, ten pieces of clothing were auctioned for more than 500 million, and forty pieces of clothing were also sold for more than 300 million ......."

"Scared, so much!" Luffy looked frightened, "This Berry...... Is it still money?"

"Berry is money, of course, but ......" The old merchant's eyes flashed, ginger is still old and spicy, others may not know about the affairs of the top nobles, but he learned some news, "Berry is not the main currency for them......"

"Oh, what's going on?" Luffy asked.

"Berry is too volatile and volatile, often with a blood crash for decades...... Hey, if you had a choice, would you choose to use Berry?" said the old merchant.

"But the problem is that there is no choice!" Luffy nodded, with a slightly wry smile.

"And they have a choice......," said the old merchant, "Berry is not their main currency, a name called Hailou Jing is their main currency, for them, Berry fulfills the responsibility of buying ordinary goods, but he can't buy rare things, so the main thing is not to spend too much Berry, they won't pay attention to it, and Hailou Jing will cost them their lives a little bit more." ”

"Sea House...... Crystal, is it the thing that makes people with Devil Fruit abilities become ordinary people?" Luffy thought about the term Hailou Jing for a while, but he had heard of it, but he didn't know what it was.

"That's the Hailou Stone, and the Hailou Stone is what makes the Devil Fruit Ability incapacitated...... the old merchant smiled and said, "I don't know...... In fact, these two are also a little related, belonging to the associated relationship, where there is a sea floor stone, there must be a sea floor crystal, the amount is not necessarily. ……”

"However, although these two things are accompanied by each other, their abilities are very different, Hailou Shi you know, I won't say much, this Hailou Jing...... It can make people live longer. ”

"Longer life!! Luffy pretended to be shocked, but he was indeed not shocked, because after a little more time, he would be able to become a human immortal and live forever!

"You say, can this be used as currency?" asked the old merchant with a smile.

"Absolutely. Luffy nodded and said, "This is simply a currency that is more natural than a rare metal like gold." ”

But no, life is such a thing, who will be too long, only the existence of extended life, and the formation of a certain amount, for people, is the absolute attribute of the currency.

As for things like Berry...... To put it bluntly, it is just a piece of paper, in case of a larger fluctuation, for example, it is not Berry that has been used for hundreds of years, but "Wang Ke", but at a certain point in time, the financial storm hits, and the entire actual "Wang Ke" has become waste paper, and even the waste paper that is too hard to solve physiological problems.

At that time, the world government and the major powers of the alliance hurried to issue a new issue of Berry, but after such a long time, Berry fluctuated from time to time, lest people worry about the recurrence of what happened hundreds of years ago, and what is even more frightening is ...... Hundreds of years ago, before "Wang Ke" became waste paper, there was another currency that became waste paper.

Compared with the sea tower crystal that can prolong life, it is no wonder that the nobles do not attach much importance to Berry.

After learning a lot of things from the old merchant, Luffy also secretly memorized them to make up for the unknown area, and only then did he realize how ...... was the decision to exchange red real gold for Berry Lucky.

Generally speaking, the precious and rare red real gold is exchanged for Hailou Crystal of the same value, but it is exchanged for Berry, which is not a simple thing, but a thing worth pondering.

The first deduction can be determined is that there is no shortage of Hailoujing for people with red real gold. ――Actually, Luffy didn't know that Hailou Jing was a currency that was circulated among the higher-ups.

But in the eyes of others, the young master, who has good red real gold and looks like a wealthy family, must be able to know that Hailoujing is such a thing, although it is secret, but it is really not too difficult to know.

At least...... A big liar is sure to be able to know.

The second is what does this man need a lot of Berry for...... It needs to be exchanged for precious and rare red real gold, which is an obvious act of privacy, and if you withdraw money from the bank, it will leave traces of running water.

Among them...... It's intriguing.

That is, one after another...... Luffy's golden noble son is not only unrecognized, but also very convincing that he is the noble son of an orthodox wealthy family.

Luffy was humbly studying, and the aristocrats and wealthy merchants in the entire auction hall were shocked by the new loom on the table, which was incredible.

That's more than 30 percent efficiency, which is much more important than 27 percent of the cost -- cost isn't the bulk of the equation in the first place.

Quietly, in the private rooms of those top people in the northern region of the East China Sea, there were faithful servants who entered and ordered something, and as stock market makers, they were like sharks in the sea, smelling blood.

"It's been a long time since I harvested...... the old man who had spent forty-one million to auction off the first piece of clothing touched what he was carrying, as if it were a sapphire, but without the slightest luster, but an extremely deep crystal.

When he encounters an emotional moment, he will habitually use the means of stroking a large number of sea building crystals to calm his mood.

"How much does it take to get a license......," he asks, as he plans to use a new textile machine to heat up the clothing industry, which will lead to stock growth, and it just so happens that his chamber of commerce controls a lot of the clothing market.

"Price...... Mei Tachibana is not in the mood yet. The big manager smiled professionally and replied respectfully.

Those top people were speechless for a moment, and they all scolded in their hearts that they were really the cubs of a wealthy family, and every time they sold something, they didn't forget to sell it at a price.
