Chapter 7: The Super Loser
Captain Cao's words made Secretary Eliza, who had been silent behind her, disdainful, this is really a guy who came out of the mountains, and he has no knowledge at all.
Steel weapons have always been the highest-grade weapons that humans have provided to the Beamon Empire, and they have always been known for their high prices, and more than twenty gold coins are not enough to buy the oversized leather armor on their bodies. Those weapons add up, don't even think about it without five hundred gold coins.
The well-informed Eliza even noticed that the leather armor and weapons of these warriors were prominently displayed with the same emblem, which was the family crest of the Wittgensteins, the four most powerful families in the human world. This badge is only known to anyone with a little common sense, and the Wittgenstein family has the reputation of "steel giants", which is their prominent position in the arms manufacturing industry.
All the equipment that is related to their family is definitely higher than the price of the same grade equipment of other families, which is the brand effect. Then the price of these equipment has to be doubled, and it is worth at least 800 gold coins.
If memory serves, there is only one Wittgenstein family weapons shop on Wall Street in the whole of Sri Lanka, which is the highest level of all human weapons shops in the Imperial City of Beamon.
Usually those who dare to spend in it are those rich people who have a relatively solid family background among the nobles of the Munda officials, and they will definitely not be ordinary orc civilians. The price of a dagger there was enough to discourage ordinary orc warriors. The profit of weapons in the Beamon Empire is several times greater than that in other human realms, who made the minerals of the Beamon Empire so scarce, and the level of smelting and manufacturing is so low.
"No! This is a steel weapon! Lao Tzu is not asking how much you have left, but how much you have spent!" Captain Cao was of course not so stupid, and he reacted after a while.
Buckley's drooping head also shows that this matter is not so simple.
"Except for me and Wade, who already have the dragon scale soft armor of the two-legged wyvern, the two of us have added a set of soft armor, and the rest of the brothers have two sets of soft armor per person. Then five steel javelins of the same specification each, Wade's two steel knives...... A total of 900 gold coins, the store saw that our business was big, and gave us a 95% discount and rounded up, only 850 gold coins, which gave us a lot of face. As if remembering the pleasant shopping experience at that time, Barkley even forgot about the current situation and the boss's gloomy face, and grinned.
Secretary Eliza's vision turned out to be very good in the end, and this kind of placement was based on the stunned eyes of Captain Cao, a terrifying astronomical figure that almost didn't make Captain Cao bite his tongue.
"Are you kidding me, where do we have so much money?" Captain Cao roared hoarsely.
The ratio of gold, silver, and copper to the three currencies circulating in the continent is one to one hundred, and eight hundred and fifty gold coins is already a huge amount of money. This is also the question that the pretty secretary behind him wants to know, where did this group of hillbillies get so much money?
This kind of asset is impossible for many petty bourgeois families in the imperial city of Sri Lanka to go bankrupt. To have so much money and still live in a slum? This boss's brain made the little secretary worry for a while, and she felt that her future work seemed to be very difficult.
"Boss, aren't you looking for me to be happy? Are you stupid, don't we still have magic crystals? If you sell it, you will make money!" Barkley said justifiably, the look in his boss was no different from looking stupid.
"Where is Lao Tzu's Dragon Crystal? If you say that you moved Lao Tzu's Dragon Crystal, now Lao Tzu will kill you and clean up the portal!" Captain Cao bounced up directly as if someone had come to kill him in the ass for a thousand years, as if he had lost his mind and was crazy, and he was only one line away from going violent.
"My lord, the dragon crystal is here! The fifth-order magic crystal that Lord Kelly gave you is also here! What are you in a hurry!" Barkley hurriedly stuffed the two magic crystals into the boss's hands, which saved his own life. He no longer knows the severity, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take two pieces of the boss's heart.
Captain Cao held the two treasures and carefully put them away, and swore in his heart that this kind of thing would never be touched by Barkley in the future, and he was already determined to strangle Buckley's dream of becoming the chief financial officer in the cradle.
Eliza, who had been able to remain calm just now, was almost not crazy, didn't she say that they killed the two-legged wyvern? Didn't the gossip from the temple say that the two-legged wyvern's magic crystal inlaid with the tears of star rhyme was already in the hands of Master Kelly? What was the matter with that green eighth-order wind dragon magic crystal? Could it be that these guys also slaughtered a lord-level wind dragon? This picture directly made Eliza fall into shock.
The figure in front of him, which was not burly but very tall, was also instantly covered with a layer of mysterious fog, if this is really the case, then this group of guys is too terrifying!
"Good boy, you have lost all seven or eight magic crystals, huh?" Captain Cao sneered, what did he do with no money to do business?
The few gold coins left can't even rent a good shop, it's not enough to even invite those well-connected adults to a light meal, and the idea of opening a trade route in a short period of time is all in vain, and now even the living expenses of these big-stomach followers are a problem!
The harvest of those demonic beasts killed along the way can almost be converted to this number, and it is also good luck that there is such a harvest along the way. That was the initial capital that Captain Cao was preparing to run the business, and the impact was more than a bad one that could be described.
Captain Cao really regretted that he didn't do it at the beginning, and it was a huge joke to see these guys as business-minded as himself. The only ability of these two vice presidents is to ensure that the internal consumption of the company's goods is on a higher level.
"What's that, with these weapons, let's go out and hunt some monsters or something, and come back?" Barkley patted the brand-new javelin on his back with a smile, as if he was caressing the lover of his dreams.
"It's easy to say! Demonic beasts are really so easy to find? We have traveled so far, not to use Wangcai as bait, where are so many stupid and stupid demonic beasts to take the bait? You are not blind, not to mention the living demonic beasts within two hundred kilometers of the imperial city, not even a single demonic beast hair has been seen. Do you think that there will be these demonic beasts that pose a threat to the people around the imperial city? Even if there are, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the city garrison at the first time, where will it be your turn? If you go out to hunt, if you want to have a harvest, you won't be able to come back in ten days and half a month?" Although Captain Cao was angry, his mind was still extremely clear, and just a few words woke up these guys who were still dreaming.
All the way was too smooth, and with the leadership of the boss, they didn't think much about it at all, and there was a boss in front of them when the sky fell. But now that the boss has told him about the situation, even the dead duck-billed Barkley is dumbfounded.
"I really don't know what you have in your head! What will you do without Lao Tzu? What is the use of your outfit now except to play handsome and pretend? This is the Imperial City! What do you want to do by arming yourself to the anus? To rob the treasury? To rob those big nobles? If you have nothing to do, go out and stab two orc compatriots on the street? Your boss is now a public servant who specializes in maintaining law and order, and if you want to be cleaned up by Lao Tzu, just say it!" Captain Cao still didn't give up, flew a whip leg, and smashed a man-high rockery next to him.
This kick did not fall on Barkley's fat buttocks, it was already the result of Captain Cao's endurance and endurance.
This lesson, which completely hit the point, made Barkley chagrined. On a whim, he lost his mind with vanity, and finally got into trouble. Barkley took his boss's words to heart.
"Hand in all your weapons!"
"But I have already bought ...... of it."
"No nonsense, execute it immediately!"
Captain Cao's final punishment plan was that all the equipment except leather armor of all the people should be sealed, and they must not be used without permission, and they are not allowed to even look at it! Looking at the expressions on the faces of these guys crying and mourning, Captain Cao finally let out a bad breath, and this kind of torture that cannot be seen and touched Captain Cao is very clear.
If we don't use this cruel means, how can we kill this unhealthy trend of extravagance and waste? And don't these guys know that they are in Sri Lanka now? The end result of too much vanity is to make a big splash. It's not a smart thing to get too early attention from Stern Dogs here.
In addition, for their practice of wasting the group's important commodity resources without the approval of their superiors, Captain Cao's handling method was to limit the supply of cigars, limited to three per person per day. The liquor was discontinued in-house, and there was not a single drop. No one is allowed to advance without the order of Captain Cao's Jinkou, and the offender will be directly expelled, and he will go back to Blaich Village to go to labor reform, when will he create enough goods, and when will he come back.
Three cigars a day, which almost didn't make Barkley faint on the spot, and that's just how much he consumed in one round. Before he could open his mouth to object, Captain Cao strangled him to death with a word.
If you want to increase the quota, you can, whoever has this idea Captain Cao doesn't stop him, and he can drag the car back to the village to pull it. The quota is doubled for each cart pulled.
Forget it, he would have drawn one more round with his big feet, and Barkley almost didn't go into shock. How long does it take to go back and forth? Buckley could even think of the poignant image of himself returning to the village the way he came, and he must have searched all over the ground for the bleak appearance of the cigarette butts he had dropped.
Even if you get to the village, it doesn't need to be said that without Mr. Cao's instructions, the iron-faced and selfless Aunt Susan would let Barkley pick up the goods without authorization?
Truth be told, Barkley's life is even in danger. Aunt Susan's rattan that's thicker than an ordinary person's thigh, oh no, will the murder weapon let him go if he made a big mistake?
"Dude, for the sake of the two knives......," Barkley turned his gaze to Wade for help.
He was greeted by the back of Wei Shuai's head, not to mention the two treasure knives. Even the handsome Wade's previous iron knife was pretended to be dead, and after the wealthy traitor went to offer the treasure to the boss, he couldn't touch it, and the mention of it broke his heart.
Wade was also tortured by sitting continuously, three cigars a day, which made Wade himself, who is known for his addiction to smoking, unable to bear it, and if he wants to support, just two words, don't talk about it!
