Chapter 14: Doing Business
I found a hotel and went offline to sleep well, and the next morning, Xu Feng came to the game through the central square. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
[Welcome players back to the Ocean Overlord again, the system prompts your friend Zi Tiantian to send a message, do you want to receive it?] 】
"Receive!"
"Hello! Big brother, my sister and I bought a lot of goods, and followed a big boat to other cities to play! My sister said she wanted to work hard to earn money. Big brother should also come on! ”
Xu Feng couldn't help but smile when he looked at the news, what a cute little Lori, but she was a little violent in her heart! Well, I'm going to work my own! When I have the opportunity, I will take the pair of sisters to do business together, of course, provided that I have enough boats.
Coming to the shipyard again, Carpenter Li greeted him. "Little brother, the water and food have been loaded and placed in Cargo Hold No. 1, and the name of the ship has been engraved. A total of 12,000 Ocean Coins is required. ”
"Okay! I'll give it to you! Xu Feng opened his inventory and looked at it, and was immediately dumbfounded, the money was not enough! His sister's spent 96,000 on soybeans alone yesterday, plus the tavern hired sailors and spent a lot of money on treats, and she only had less than 3,000 ocean coins left on her.
Xu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly, "That Uncle Li, wait a minute, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll be back in a while, that one wait for me for a while!" After saying that, he turned around and ran. Why go? Of course, go to the bank to exchange ocean coins.
Out of breath, he ran to a money bank in Yizhou Port, applied for exchange business, and exchanged his less than 100,000 yuan yuan for 30,000 yuan of ocean currency, and then ran back to the shipyard in a hurry.
"Huh~Huh~~ Give! Uncle, I just forgot to take the money, I'm sorry! Xu Feng transferred 12,000 ocean coins to Carpenter Li, and then walked towards his ship.
"This kid, I still want to say that there is no money to owe first! Who knew the little one ran so fast? Hey~ It's good to be young! Carpenter Li looked at Xu Feng's distant back and let out a sigh.
……
"Set sail!" Xu Feng came to his own sailing number, waved his hand, and announced excitedly.
"Yes! My lord! Anchor! Sail! Suddenly all the sailors on board were busy. The sails were lifted high, and the Qihang slowly left the Yizhou dock and headed for the depths of the sea.
The destination of the trip was to pass through the port of Hangzhou, resupply and then go directly south to Quanzhou, and then sell the soybeans on board. If you don't sell it at Hangzhou Port, Xu Feng is afraid that Hangzhou Port is too close to Yizhou Port, and the price will definitely not be as high as Quanzhou in the south.
Standing in his captain's room, Xu Feng looked at the nautical chart while calculating the ship's route, afraid that he would deviate from the course, so he didn't know how many unjust roads he would have to take. Fortunately, there is the most basic compass on the ship, so it will not lose its way, and I am going south along the coast of Huaguo, so I can also dock in time to deal with some unexpected situations.
"If only I could recruit a few powerful NPC helpers! When I arrived at the port of Hangzhou, I went ashore to inquire if there were any talents with navigation skills. It's so tiring to be a surveyor and a captain again! Besides, the offline line has to dock and stop the ship, which delays time. Recruit a co-captain with sailing experience, you can get off the ship with peace of mind, and let the co-captain continue to sail, which can save a lot of effort! Xu Feng began to calculate in his heart, he needed to save money to do business in this life, and even recruited NPC deputies who were proficient in naval warfare in the later stage, so these had to be considered in advance, unlike the previous life, he explored alone, and it was enough to hire some sailors on a transformed one-man sailboat, after all, he had no plan for his life at that time, just to be free, of course, when he wanted to go offline, just pull over the boat and stop it. But in this life, time is money for you!
After driving at sea for nearly 3 days, Xu Feng only went offline to rest once. Xu Bu came to the deck and looked at the endless sea, the excitement of having his own ship gradually disappeared, and Xu Feng's heart was gradually replaced by an inexplicable anxiety. There is not much time left to get away, and when the player reaches level 5, they can trade currency, and at that point their advantage will be gone. After all, after removing those big guilds, the big families can pool money to buy ships, and the military forces may buy countless fleets for trade at one time, and the ships they have worked hard to get in the early stage will have nothing to show off.
"Captain! The sky in the sea ahead is not very good, and it is expected to rain heavily. Do you want to continue sailing? An experienced sailor came to Xu Feng's side and asked. Xu Feng looked ahead, saw the sea area covered by dark clouds, thought about it, and instructed, "Change direction, dock the boat, and wait for the dark clouds to disperse before continuing south!" ”
"Yes! Captain! Everyone, pay attention, the captain ordered, put away the mainsail, turn the bow, and stop the ship on the shore! ”
It is normal to encounter rain at sea, but that large dark cloud always gives Xu Feng a lot of pressure, if the heavy rain turns into a storm, it will be a devastating blow to Xu Feng's small sailboat! This small sailing ship cannot stop a storm of any level, and there is only one thing that can be done if you enter the storm area, and that is the ship's destruction and death! Xu Feng didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble.
Not far from the shore, Xu Feng ordered the ship to anchor, and then quit the game. I took the opportunity to go back to Pandora and get a good night's sleep, hoping that it would be a good weather when I woke up in the game.
Landing on the ocean overlord again, sure enough, the dark clouds in front of him had dispersed, and Xu Feng instructed the sailors to restore the ship to its normal course.
"First of all, you have to recruit an experienced lookout! That's the most basic guarantee for yourself to be able to sail safely on the sea! Secondly, you have to find a co-captain, so you don't have to waste time. Let's take your time! "Good NPCs with sailing experience are not so easy to find, even if Xu Feng is willing to spend money, he may not be able to find the right candidate. Gamer? Xu Feng didn't think about it at all now, because he had a ship now and couldn't explain it. Now that it has been rumored, it is estimated that it will cause trouble.
After a full 28 days, Xu Feng almost insisted on resting on the next line every 2 days, and finally arrived at the Hangzhou wharf. It's a sin to sail like this!
[Congratulations to the player on arriving at Hangzhou Port, and according to the player's performance and experience in this voyage, the player will be rewarded with 500 experience points.] Additional Rewards: Stamina, Intelligence, and Spirit. 】
Finally arrived at Hangzhou Port, Xu Feng didn't say a word, quickly left his boat, found a hotel, and went offline to make up for sleep.

……
It's been 2 days since it went live again. In other words, Xu Feng slept for 2 days.
Refreshed, Xu Feng came to the restaurant in Hangzhou Port. "Boss, bring me a table of good wine and food!"
"Okay! Guest officer, wait a moment, Xiao Er, take the guest officer to the private room! ”
Sitting in the private room on the second floor, Xu Feng threw 10 ocean coins to the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you know any famous seafarers nearby?" ”
Xiao Er kicked up the tip with a smile, thought about it and replied, "I haven't heard of it in Hangzhou Port recently, but I heard from the merchants who came and went that there are more seafarers who don't have jobs in the Macao area, where can adults go!" ”
……
The investigation was fruitless, and Xu Feng returned directly to his ship after being full of wine and food. "Hey~ This world, it's hard to find!" I opened the information page of my own fleet and checked the status of the sailors, which is not bad. Everyone is in a good mood. "Huh? Wrong! How could there be 21 sailors on board? I obviously recruited 20 of them. ”
Xu Feng walked quickly to bring the deck, found a familiar sailor and ordered, "You go, everyone is called to the deck, I have something to tell you." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
After a while, the small deck was full of people, and Xu Feng silently counted in his heart, "1.2.3.4...... 19.20。 ”
"The number of people is wrong!" Xu Feng checked the number of people and announced to everyone, "You are the sailors I brought out from Yizhou, you should know each other." After a while, everyone will split up and look for him on the boat, and there will be a man on the ship, and I want you to find him out! ”
When all the sailors heard this, they were all surprised, it was not a trivial matter for a merchant ship to have strangers on board, and if they lost anything valuable, the responsibility would be all theirs, and not only would the job be gone, but the wages would also be gone, and if one did not get it, they would have to suffer a lawsuit. So everyone started to search all the cabins in a rage.
"Captain, we found a suspicious guy in the warehouse, get on your knees!" Not long after, a group of sailors escorted a person who was also wearing a sailor's suit to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng looked at the NPC who sneaked onto the boat, he looked quite delicate, but he shouldn't have sneaked onto the player's boat. Players can easily find out everyone who gets on board. "Throw him off the boat, and then sail to Quanzhou!" Xu Feng didn't mean to ask, he directly ordered the sailor, and then turned around to return to the captain's room.
"My lord! Adults, please stay! I have something to say! When the handsome stowaway heard that he was about to throw himself off the boat, he hurriedly struggled and shouted.
Xu Feng stopped moving forward, turned his head and said in a deep voice, "As a person who sneaked onto my ship, it's already merciful enough that I didn't let people cripple you!" ”
The man shuddered, "Yes! Be! My lord. But the small ones are also desperate. The little one hasn't eaten for 3 days! Dare to ask if the adult is a big businessman from Yizhou? Traveling to Quanzhou to sell goods? ”
"So what? Isn't it? ”
