Chapter 9: What Are We Going to Sell?

Since he decided to go to Rhode Island to do a big business, Lin Taiping woke up the next morning and began to lead Christine and the Minotaur tribe into the preparation work like a boss who unscrupulously oppressed employees.

The first thing to do, no doubt, was to repair the ship, and after inspecting the damage to the hull, Christine announced with a sigh of relief that the problem with the pirate ship was not serious, and as long as the leaky holes in the hull were repaired, they could barely sail to Rhode Island.

In this way, dozens of unlucky pirates immediately volunteered to become ship repair workers, and according to Lin Taiping's special instructions, the ship's new name was painted on the side of the ship, the Black Pearl...... In fact, it's all because someone's bad taste has flare up again.

On the other hand, dozens of minotaurs also have to learn all kinds of basic navigational knowledge, including how to control the rudder, how to use the compass, how to raise and lower the sails, and how to clean the deck...... Well, you have to admit that for a minotaur with muscles in his head, this is simply more terrifying than going to the god of light to fight it alone.

However, since Christine is here, this qiē is not a problem!

In fact, this somewhat silly beauty sister, as soon as she enters the working state, she will immediately turn into a fierce queen, and within the scope of her powerful aura, any creature must be honest and obedient, otherwise it will be bombarded into slag by a large iron anchor of several hundred catties.

That's why it only lasted for two days, and the poor minotaur tribe completely collapsed, and in the end, Tulu simply rushed over in the middle of the night, hugging Lin Taiping's thighs and bursting into tears: "Lin, we can't stand it, that girl is so brutal, to be honest, we'd rather go to the God of Light to fight alone." ”

"Ann, Ann. Lin Taiping put down a nautical map and patted it on the shoulder to express comfort, "I have already told Christine that from tomorrow onwards, she will never force you to learn to sail again, I promise." ”

Tulu wiped away the tears and went back to bed in disbelief, and then waited until dawn the next day, and the whole beach could hear its cry of grief and indignation: "Woo woo! Lin, I curse you that you only have to give birth to a daughter in this life!"

Yes, just as Lin Taiping assured, Christine didn't force Turu to learn to sail again, she just brought a large group of minotaurs to the boat, and then kicked them all into the water: "The boss said that within two days, you must learn to swim...... By the way, sharks in this neighborhood have been hungry for a long time. ”

Tears flowed, at this moment, dozens of minotaurs burst into tears in the sea, looking at the shark's dorsal fin slowly appearing in the distance, they finally understood one thing: "So, creatures like Lin and Miss Christine are destined to be together!"

In this way, after ten full days, the Black Pearl was finally repaired, and Tulu and they finally became qualified sailors, and now that the preparations had been completed, Lin Taiping decided to anchor and go to sea the next day, but before that, there was still an important problem that had to be solved.

In fact, Christine was aware of the problem and came to the door that night: "Boss, I think we need to have a good talk, the merchant ships have sailors, but I still don't know, what exactly are we going to sell in Rhode Island?"

"Ah, I've been ready for this for a long time. Lin Taiping replied with a smile, then stood up directly and took off his clothes, "Look at this, what do you think of the businessmen of Rhode Island...... Me, what's that look on your face, do I look like the kind of unscrupulous boss who beats up the idea of a female secretary?"

Very good and powerful, looking at the boss who suddenly undressed, Christine couldn't help but wonder if she would use a big iron anchor to salute if the other party dared to come up and move her hands and feet.

But the next moment, when she saw a certain part of Lin Taiping's body, she suddenly showed a very strange expression, and even opened her eyes stupidly: "This is...... This is ......."

"What do you say?" Lin Taiping smiled and hooked his fingers, as if he was tricking Christine into looking at the goldfish, "Come on, you can take a closer look, this is what I asked Tulu to take a long time to do." ”

So, a few minutes later, in the dimly lit tent, there was a strange conversation between a man and a woman.

"Ahh

"Of course not, it's very long-lasting, do you want to touch it, you can get harder!"

"Really, then if you don't mind......"

"Meow, don't use so much force, it's really soft this time!"

Well, God knows what they're talking about, but after this inappropriate conversation, Christine finally has some confidence that the next trip to Rhode Island will make a lot of money, and when she thinks that six percent of it will go to her, this beautiful lady who works hard to keep a family immediately thinks of the scene of milk powder diapers falling from the sky.

And now that the biggest problem has been solved, when the sun rises the next day, Lin Taiping officially boarded a ship and set out to explore the trade route between Alcatraz Island and Rhode Island, and took all the Minotaurs with him in one go.

What? Leave a few people to guard the tribe? No kidding, what else do you think is worth guarding, not to mention the fact that there is a group of dark elves on the north side of the island who are anxious to have children.

So a few hours later, under the sad and angry eyes of the abandoned pirates, the Black Pearl slowly sailed away from the shore, its white sails hunting in the breeze, and in front of it was an endless expanse of blue sea, with a salty breeze blowing by and a few seagulls chasing the stern of the ship.

"My goal is the sea of stars!" Facing the morning glow and the sea breeze, Lin Taiping opened his arms in high spirits and watched the ocean of thousands of miles of blue waves appear in front of him, "Everyone, please wait and see, this will be the first pot of gold we will earn...... Gross!"

Well, in fact, it wasn't that rosy, because not long after leaving Alcatraz, he tragically discovered that games are games and reality are realities, and even though he used to be a hardcore nautical gamer, he still couldn't prevent many things from happening, such as seasickness!

Two hours later, he vomited like a shrimp, a day later, he saw two shadows, and three days later, the only thing he could do was hang like a dead fish on the side of the boat, and of course a group of unlucky minotaurs dangling around him.

"If I had known that was the case, I should have exercised every day. Shaking and clutching the side of the boat, Lin Taiping couldn't help but burst into tears, and what made him even more tearful was that Rhode Island was still a long voyage away from here, which meant that his miserable life had to continue.

"Boss, drinking this will make you feel a little more comfortable. Christine grabbed a cable and jumped off the white sail more than ten meters high, even on the shaking deck, she was still energetic as if she was dancing a tango, and the medicinal soup in her hand did not spill a little.

"Specially prepared for me?" Lin Taiping couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the steaming bowl of medicinal soup, and then looking up at the red-dressed beauty with an enthusiastic face.

Because the minotaur is seasick and can't help, so in the past few days, Christine has been busy driving the boat alone, and she hasn't closed her eyes for three days and her eyes are red, but even in such a busy, she actually took time to help boil the medicine, so that now her face is still stained with black medicine residue, and she looks silly and funny.

"Maybe, I can treat her better, except for the salary increase......" Feeling the heat of the medicinal soup, Lin Taiping suddenly felt warm in his heart, and took the medicinal soup and drank it in one sip, "Hmm, it's really a magical medicinal soup, I feel much better, what is this made of?"

"Of course, this is my family's ancestral secret recipe. Christine raised her swan-like jade neck and proudly wrenched her hands and said, "The tail of a scorpion, the long legs of a spider, the stinger of a wasp, the spit of a frog, and ......."

Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping immediately lay on the side of the boat and vomited, he decided to immediately retract all the compliments just now, Tulu and dozens of minotaurs were next to him, and he burst into tears when he heard it, and suddenly felt that his seasickness had completely recovered, and he didn't need to drink this medicinal soup at all.

In fact, after only half an hour, Lin Taiping felt that his body was completely restored, which allowed him to finally rethink some questions, such as what kind of place Rhode Island was about to arrive in a few days.

"Rhodes? That's one of the most famous commercial islands in the Horn Sea. No one was more familiar with this than Christine, so she immediately took on the role of a narrator, and by the way, did not forget to introduce the details of the entire world of Contens.

According to Christine, the entire Constance world can be roughly divided into seven seas according to the direction of ocean currents, and this huge world composed of oceans and islands has been divided and merged in tens of thousands of years of history, and there have been several unified dynasties, but they have fallen apart with the passage of time.

The most recent unification was nearly a thousand years ago, when the power of dark creatures was extremely powerful, and many dark races such as orcs, undead demons, and other dark races united to conquer almost the seven seas of the world of Contens, established the evil and terrifying Dark Dynasty, and reduced all humans and other races to slavery.

However, for some unknown reason, this powerful dark dynasty fell apart overnight, and the humans and other races under the oppressive rule took the opportunity to unite and form a coalition of millions of rebels, waging a decade-long war against the dark creatures, known in history as the War of Light and Darkness.

As a result of the War of Light and Darkness, the Dark Dynasty completely collapsed, and the defeated Dark Races fled and scattered one after another, hiding incognito on remote desert islands, while the victorious humans and other races became the new masters of the world of Contens, and after hundreds of years of evolution and development, the current situation of secession was formed.

In fact, today's Constance world is in an era when many forces are standing side by side, taking the Horn Sea where everyone is now as an example, the narrowest sea area of the seven seas, there are almost 20 forces, and the political system implemented is extremely numerous, such as the lord system, the governor system, the parliamentary system, and almost any system.

Of course, despite the complexity of the forces, the Horn Sea is generally quiet, each of them controls several islands, operates territories, collects taxes and develops commerce, and cooperates with each other, gradually forming a loose alliance, and the biggest threat they face is the big forces from other seas, as well as the murderous pirates who burn and loot everywhere.

"Wait, pirates?" Lin Taiping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Christine, do you mean that there are many, many pirates in this sea area, and they are still very strong?"

"Of course, don't you know, boss?" Christine looked at him in confusion, "There are many pirates lurking in our troubled seas, and those notorious fellows roam around, looking for every opportunity to rob merchant ships, and occasionally collude to attack weaker islands. ”

In fact, as Christine said, pirates are a headache in this Horn Sea, for example, the pirate leader Bloody Eye, who roams the neighborhood, is known for his brutality and bloodthirstiness, owns four or five pirate ships, controls two hundred vicious pirates, and even traps many evil and powerful people.

Every year, hundreds of merchant ships are plundered by Bloody Eye, and tens of thousands of fortunes are lost, and just a few months ago, he even joined forces with several pirates to attack a small island at night, ransack them, kill people and set them on fire, and even cut off the lord's head to make a wine cup, as a way to show off his brutal strength.

"So ferocious?" Lin Taiping couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, if he planned to sail and trade in this sea, sooner or later he would encounter these greedy and cruel guys, such as Bloody Eyes......

"That's right, almost all the caravans have suffered from them. Christine shrugged her shoulders nonsensically, "Still, in a sense, I like them, especially when they turn into bounties. ”

"Yes, yes. Tulu finally vomited and thumped his chest beside him, "Lin, don't worry, no matter what kind of pirate it is, in front of our great minotaur, they will be as fragile as a chicken, if they dare to come out...... Huh?"

Very good and powerful, the next moment, Tulu used his watch xiàn to prove what is called a crow's mouth!

On the horizon in the distance, a burning and smoking merchant ship was rocking and sailing, the scarred hull was damaged in many places, and the fat merchant standing on the deck was pale, desperately jumping to urge, but no matter how hard the sailors tried, the merchant ship could not fly fast enough.

Immediately behind the merchant ship was a dhowing dhow, flying a black skull flag, dozens of pirates crowded on the bow, waving cold and shining corners, smiling and showing their white teeth, while a somewhat dilapidated trebuchet was firing stone bullets with a roar, and landed near the merchant ship from time to time.

At this moment, Christine's bright eyes shone with golden light, and at this moment, Tulu, who was still patting his chest just now, was dumbfounded, and at this moment, Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly, and finally couldn't help but ask seriously-

"Tulu, I'd like to confirm, how are your cattle recently?"
