Chapter 94: The Importance of Individuality
Although it looked like it was half-closed outside, when he actually walked in, Lu Jing found that the pirate tavern was not as deserted as he imagined.
After a rough sweep, there were five tables in the whole tavern with people, two of which were teams of more than three people, with fruit plates and drinks on the tables, chatting about the day.
The appearance of Lu Jing and Xu Chu also attracted their attention, but it was only for a glance, and they quickly withdrew their gaze.
In their opinion, these two people are really unremarkable.
In the world of pirates, appearance is never the criterion for judging a person, what they value is personality or unique characteristics, don't underestimate this "personality", this can be converted into the most direct benefit in many cases!
You must know that the Alliance Navy will not only release a name when issuing a wanted warrant, but generally with a nickname and a personal portrait, because most people are exposed to the wind and rain at sea all day long, the appearance is naturally not high, and the portrait of the wanted criminal of the Alliance Navy is naturally impossible to rub the skin and whiten, which leads to a pirate who wants to be distinguished, then he must rely on an impressive "personality".
If you don't have a personality, even if you post a wanted poster, you will end up in a blur of everyone.
On the other hand, regardless of the record, a pirate who can't be remembered at all is undoubtedly a failure, whether it is a raid at sea or a fight between peers, if he can't even report a resounding name, then what is the mix?
Just like the guy on the boat that traveled to the sea before, as soon as he was surrounded, he took off his clothes, and the blue and red ghost face on his chest came out, which not only made some timid guards flee in fright on the spot, but also made the transcendent guards on the ship all cast rat traps, which is the benefit of "personality".
There is also the insect envoy, carrying a huge gourd, the recognition is not too high, others know that this guy is definitely not easy to mess with, who has nothing to carry a heavy object that is dozens of pounds bigger at a glance and walks back and forth?
"I always feel looked down upon......"
Lu Jing's eyes circled between the fierce men who either had cross scars on their faces or a wolf scalp on their shoulders, and looked back at the tightly wrapped "strip of cloth" behind him and the piano case that Xu Xi was carrying, obviously lacking personality!
Why don't you find a tattoo shop and tattoo a little Peppa on your chest later?
"What do you want?"
The bartender, with a cloth towel on his shoulder, straightened the utensils behind the counter and asked without raising his head.
"I want to buy intelligence. ”
Lu Jing didn't know the rules in the pirate tavern, and Xu Chu had only heard that there was such a place, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, he could only ask in a more straightforward way.
As the words fell, the pirates in the tavern turned their heads to look at the two "chicks" at the counter, and the disdain in their eyes was undisguised.
Heh, these days, anyone can really be a pirate.
Can this business be good?
"New to the industry?"
The bartender took two glasses of white water and put them on the counter, pursed his lips, and when he saw Lu Jing nodding, he spoke again,
"The pirate industry is not as simple as you think, especially the jargon, if you want to sell information, you have to ask, 'It's good, have you eaten', and if you want to buy information, you have to say 'good, you're hungry', understand, I haven't seen you like this stunned for a long time, this sentence is my free reminder to you. ”
"Thank you for reminding me, I am indeed new to the industry, please bear with this big brother. ”
Lu Jing didn't care, after all, he was really a pirate on the first day, which was somewhat insightful.
"The attitude is humble enough...... Whatever you want to buy, write it here,"
The bartender took out a note from the drawer and put a pencil in front of Lu Jing, like this kind of intelligence transaction, it is naturally impossible to bargain with the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Lu Jing decisively wrote "The origin of the Holy Blood Sect" and handed the note back, the bartender took it and took a look, and his face sank.
"Why don't you ask Zheng Yuan how he became the governor of Anling Island, maybe I can help you ask this question!"
This question is clearly overstepping.
Behind the pirate tavern is a large number of intelligence dealers to support the intelligence network, but they don't have the hands and eyes to find out what is the origin of a sect that came from other places more than ten years ago, this tavern sells intelligence to pirates, not religious historians!
This kind of information, which has no value, will not be investigated by anyone who has enough to eat.
"Okay, then I'll change the question. ”
Lu Jing smacked his lips and decided to avoid this question first, took the note back, and wrote Jin Qidong's name on the back,
"I want to know about this person. ”
"Ha~ This question is a bit interesting. ”
After taking the note, the bartender didn't want to mark a price of 5 silver dollars in the blank space next to him, and such a rapid price made Lu Jing immediately realize that it was probably not just they who asked about Jin Qidong's situation.
"A lot of people inquired about him?"
"Of course, he is a very 'personality' existence, quite in line with some people's hearts, basically every once in a while someone will try to recruit him, so our information about him is very good, and the price is naturally not cheap, one hand to pay, one hand to deliver. ”
The bartender replied quite simply, Lu Jing didn't say anything more, Xu Chu next to him immediately counted five silver dollars and lined them up on the table, the former took the money, crossed out the previous question first, turned around and handed the note through a small window behind the counter, and then turned back and said,
"Friend, a reminder to you, that person is not easy to mess with, and his skills are not just those on the surface...... Forget it, I see that you have just entered the industry, and you can't understand it if you don't say it bluntly, it's not that no one has gone to him before, and some people even thought about tying it up and putting it on the boat first, and then talking slowly, but none of those people came back, do you know what I mean?"
"I kind of get it. ”
Lu Jing nodded, turned sideways to look at Xu Xi, and the two exchanged a look.
The bartender's meaning is very clear, Jin Qidong not only has outstanding medical skills, but also has extraordinary combat ability, the pirates are not guys who can negotiate well, Jin Qidong can successfully open the medical hall until now, and let himself be famous enough to let the bartender personally remind him......
This Jin Qidong is really not an ordinary person!
"I'm not trying to recruit him, I'm just asking someone. ”
At least so far, Lu Jing has not had the slightest idea of inviting Jin Qidong, even if the Tidal Stream does lack a ship doctor.
didn't wait too long at the counter, a scroll came out of the window where the bartender had just handed the strip, Lu Jing took it in his hand and opened it and glanced at it roughly, and without looking closely, he put it away again and handed it to Xu Chu for temporary safekeeping, after all, there were still many people next to him who were paying attention to this side either openly or secretly.
"Do you have any similar news about the previous question?"
After getting Jin Qidong's information, Lu Jing still didn't plan to give up investigating the matter of the Holy Blood Sect.
"It depends on what you ask, if we have matching information here, we will naturally sell it to you. ”
Just received a sum of money, and the bartender's attitude eased a lot.
Boom~
Just as Lu Jing was thinking about how to correct his first question, the door of the tavern was pushed open again.
It's just that this time it's not as plain as when Lu Jing and Xu Chu came in, and when they saw someone coming at the door of the tavern, there was a low shout in the tavern.
This time, the visitor has a lot of personality!
