Chapter 175: Greedy Ernesto, tyrannical Canglong

"The Crescent Islands? Crown of the Sea? Ernesto sniffed deeply, his face full of intoxication, "I smell gold coins from these names, my friend!" ”

Ji Chen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Maybe... Let's get straight to the point, I don't know what you, Your Excellency Ernesto, have brought with you? ”

Hearing this, Ernesto's face became even more eager, and he shouted: "I like customers like you, please rest assured, the things brought by the goblins will definitely satisfy every customer!" ”

After a pause, it added, "As long as there are enough gold coins." ”

"Little ones, put down box 1! Guests want to see the goods! ”

"Howler!"

On the front deck of the goblin merchant ship, a hole was suddenly cracked, and a platform slowly rose, on which there was a three-meter-long, wide-high cube metal box, on which a number representing "1" was sprayed.

The goblin sailor, who operated the boat crane, pinpointed the hook into the ring on the top of the metal box, lifted it up and placed it on the dock over the side of the ship.

The dull sound of the floor indicates that the box itself and the contents are not light.

Immediately after, Ernesto walked up and groped around the box a few times, and suddenly a round hole appeared on the smooth surface, from which a ray of light shot out, scanning Ernesto several times from foot to head, and then clicking the ground to both sides, revealing the space inside.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, good guy, it turned out to be a high-tech safe?

In such a world with a generally medieval background, this kind of presentation full of technology is somewhat out of place.

Ernesto opened the box and made a gesture of please, "Guest, see if there is anything in it that interests you." ”

Ji Chen nodded slightly and raised his eyes.

In the metal box on one side of the opening, there are three shelves, each of which holds several items, weapons, armor, blueprints, etc., but the same thing is that they are all of similar value, belonging to the same level.

Ji Chen just glanced at it casually, and then shook his head with some disgust, they were all things that weren't even treasures, and he couldn't look at them.

"I'm not very interested in this, is there anything better?"

Hearing this, Ernesto was not angry but happy, knowing that this was a big customer, and hurriedly said: "Of course there is, the goblins will not let you down!" ”

"Guys! Hurry up and get me box 2, no, box 3! ”

The crane on the Goblin Merchant Ship lifted Box 1 back and lowered the metal box with the number 3.

In the same vein, Ernesto opened the box, revealing its contents.

Ji Chen's eyes changed slightly, and he finally became a little interested.

Ernesto, as a goblin caravan consul, naturally has a strong ability to observe words and colors, and soon noticed Ji Chen's changing eyes, with a smile on his face, and took a treasure from the shelf.

The exterior is a round glass sphere containing a miniature model of a spring.

【Natural Spring】

[Level]: 3-star treasure

[Effect]: After use, it can form a fresh water spring (enough water for 5,000 people to drink every day)

[Indispensable natural treasures in water-scarce territories such as deserts and islands]

Oh? Looks pretty good.

Seeing this spring treasure, Ji Chen remembered what Willus had reported a few days ago about the freshwater issue of the crown of the ocean.

The main source of water for Ocean Crown is the lake water from the summit of the Tohoku mountain peak, as well as various rivers.

As the crown of the ocean grows faster and faster, the population has skyrocketed, from hundreds to thousands, from thousands to tens of thousands, and the demand for fresh water has also increased dramatically, and the island's surface water sources alone have been somewhat unable to support the further development of the territory, although the island is extremely rich in groundwater, but how to extract it is a difficult problem.

So finding ways to increase easy access to water for the future expansion of the crown of the ocean is a matter of concern.

"The 3-star top-level treasure natural spring is enough to solve the daily drinking water problem of 5,000 people, and it is simply an excellent treasure in a territory lacking fresh water!"

"Tong Yan Wusuo, a price of 150,000 gold coins!"

Why don't you go grab it!?

This goblin is too dark.

Ji Chen almost wanted to scold, a 3-star treasure sells for 150,000, you must know that it only cost 50,000 gold coins to buy a 3-star treasure shield bracelet from a player before, and now it has directly multiplied several times, which is also too dark.

Although he is rich, he is not a big wrongdoer.

The value of this treasure is at its highest of 80,000 gold coins.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen decisively refused, and his tone was resolute.

"Your Excellency Ernesto, this price seems to be exaggerated, far beyond its value."

"Although this natural spring is a rare natural treasure and a treasure for the island, although the crown of the ocean is located on the island, there is not a lot of fresh water resources on the island, and it is just a matter of mining and cost."

"So it's not worth the amount of gold I've spent, but if your Excellency is still so open-mouthed, then the crown of the ocean won't welcome you."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding atmosphere instantly froze.

Seeing Ji Chen's refusal so decisively, Ernesto couldn't help frowning, and began to think about it in his heart.

Isn't that what it thought before?

To be able to have such a vast, densely populated, and rather prosperous territory, as well as so many troops and heroes, this lord should be very rich, how can he not even take out 150,000 gold coins?

You must know that the last guest spent a full 160,000 gold coins to get it from it.

Well, although that deal was done under the aim of the barrel.

Well, it admits that its bid was a little higher, so it wouldn't be so adamantly refused, right?

Looking at this island of at least 100 square kilometers, lush forests, and rich resources, as well as Ji Chen's tough attitude, Ernesto somewhat believed his words.

The tone inevitably softened a little.

Forget it, in the face of a new customer with great potential, then it will suffer a little bit.

Thinking of this, Ernesto's eyes rolled a few times, and he covered his body with an exaggerated expression, and said with a look of regret.

"My dear friend, it hurts our hearts when you say this, the value of what an honest and fair goblin sells is highly matched with the bid, and it is not a single cent!"

"Well, although I will lose money, the goblins are willing to make concessions for their dear friends, and we may be able to talk a little more about the price."

Highly matched and willing to compromise for a friend?

Phew!

If the goblins were honest and fair, wouldn't all human beings be good people!?

Ji Chen secretly complained in his heart, but the expression on his face softened a little, and he stretched out three fingers.

"Oh? 130,000 gold coins, this price may be possible..."

"It's 30,000 gold coins!"

Hearing this, Ernesto jumped up like a fried dog, "No way, no goblin merchant can accept this price!" ”

"This is a 3-star top-notch natural treasure, not a roadside street stall!! If you sell it at this pitiful price, the god of trade will cry! ”

150,000 was pressed to 30,000, and even the stupidest ogre didn't think it would work! How much less does it have to make!

Looking at the goblin consul who jumped to his feet, Ji Chen said lightly.

"Since you don't think it's possible, how much do you think is the right price?"

"At least one hundred and twenty-nine thousand eight hundred! That's the best price the goblins give! ”

His knowledge of goblins was refreshed.

Sure enough, greedy enough, stingy enough!

Grandet is not even a hundredth of them.

Unconsciously, Ji Chen became a little interested in this transaction.

I thought about it a lot, and suddenly I thought of something.

Why should I make a deal with these goblins in a serious way?

Our real subclass is pirates!

"No, it must be cheaper, otherwise it will be scattered in two!"

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, looking like he would forget if he didn't agree.

Ernesto looked at this scene, his heart was slightly happy, and his face looked difficult and distressed, and he sighed heavily as if he had given up.

"Well, since Your Excellency has said so, then in order to maintain the relationship between us, then drop another seven thousand gold coins! One hundred and twenty-two thousand eight hundred! ”

"Deal!"

One party pays the money and the other delivers the goods.

Ji Chen got the 3-star natural treasure natural spring, but the more than 600,000 gold coins he possessed disappeared by one-fifth in an instant.

But he didn't feel distressed at all, anyway, sooner or later he would have to come back, so let's put this money where you saved it first.

After figuring it out, Ji Chen continued to buy goods from Ernesto to lower his vigilance, and the gold coins flowed out like water.

When another deal with Ernesto was completed.

Ji Chen said intentionally or unintentionally: "Since Your Excellency and your cargo boxes are numbered, isn't it true that the higher the numbered cargo box, the rarer and more precious the things stored in it?" ”

Ernesto, who had already been fascinated by transactions and gold coins, seemed to have become good friends with Ji Chen at this time, and he only hesitated a little when he heard this, and then said.

"That's right, the higher the numbered box, the more precious the contents will be, and the higher the level of protection!"

"Oh? The level of protection? ”

"That's right, every container must be personally certified by me before it can be opened, otherwise it can only be broken by violence, but how can it be easily broken by force?"

"Could it be that there is something special about the cargo box?"

Ernesto and Ji Chen reached many deals, and he was in a very good mood, and said as if showing off at this time: "Each cargo box is a fusion of the alchemy and mechanical technology of the goblin clan, not only is it made of special metal, it is extremely strong and resistant to fighting, ordinary physical and magic attacks can't help it at all. ”

"Even if it can be forcibly broken by force from the outside, once the internal device senses the rupture of the shell, it will immediately detonate the big guy inside, causing a violent explosion and destroying all the things inside!"

"boom~ by the way, I will also blow up the enemy and smash it together! Well, it's a genius idea! Ernesto made an explosive gesture, looking excited and pompous.

I looked sideways at the container.

Although he didn't know what a big guy was, Ji Chen knew that this shouldn't be a good thing, so he had to pay more attention.

"Alright~ let's move on to the great and gold-scented trade!"

"Guest, do you need anything else? This time we crossed the ocean from the Eastern Continent to return to the Giant Tooth City, the home of the goblin clan in the Western Continent, and if you miss this opportunity, it will be a few months before you have the next opportunity to trade! ”

Pulling his gaze back from the cargo box, Ji Chen groaned, "I need a strong class, it needs to be marine, and the higher the rank, the better." ”

Hearing this, Ernesto's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he rubbed his hands together.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I happen to have a class here, which is very suitable for your needs."

"Little guys, bring me out of Cargo Box Seven!!"

More than ten minutes later, the crane lowered a two-meter-long, wide-and-high cube metal cargo box to the ground.

Unlike the previous ones, this container has three layers of protection, each of which needs to be scanned and opened with a key.

This made Ji Chen couldn't help but be curious, what kind of troop core was contained in such a tightly guarded cargo box?

Ernesto opened the last layer of protection, revealing the 2×2 neatly arranged boxes inside, and then opened the one on the left of the second row.

The core of a class recruiting camp the size of a skull, with a miniature giant creature inside.

"Hey, hey, the thing is here~ Please see if you are satisfied."

Ernesto said as he carefully removed the core and placed it on a shelf covered with soft cotton pads.

Ji Chen moved closer and stared at it.
