Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 14 Milestone Completed!
Chapter 14 Milestone Completed!
Fang Senyan listened to him introduce the things in the store with a smile, but he just ignored the old bitch's words and regarded them as farts. Then he suddenly shouted to the street:
"David! Come here and lend me two pounds!"
"Wait!" Mughal suddenly shouted, gloomy and unhappily said: "Okay, I want to buy your gold coin, you name a price."
Fang Senyan said decisively:
"Twelve pounds, because I want to buy your sacred tree branches, so you just need to give me ten pounds."
Fang Senyan knew that he had been tricked by Kerry. This guy only told him the process of the task, but ignored the step of buying Mughal's things and improving his favorability - of course, it is not ruled out that people with high charm can directly carry out the task - and Kerry's purpose of risking anger should be very simple, of course, to let himself go back to him after he got stuck in the task process and get some benefits. In this nightmare space, of course, interests are paramount, and in most cases, everyone is driven by interests.
The reason why Fang Senyan bargained with the Mogul instead of giving gold pounds directly was because he knew that he was not very charming, and giving gifts directly would actually be a way to get half the result with twice the effort. Moreover, this old man was clearly a greedy profiteer, and the essence of profiteers was not to do business at a loss. If he could not meet the task conditions even after giving gold pounds, wouldn't he be completely stuck here? In the end, he would have to go back and endure Kerry's exploitation.
Hearing the words "ten pounds", the old man jumped up like a mad dog, and shouted with saliva flying: "No! At most six pounds!"
Perhaps because he found that the previous show-off had no effect, the Mogul simply launched a rogue offensive, holding the gold coins tightly, and Fang Senyan had no way to deal with him with both soft and hard tactics, because the continuous task would eventually fall on this bitch, so he could only reluctantly make the deal. When the old man mentioned Ms. Tatasha again, he finally spoke:
"Tatasha... this woman actually still remembers me."
Fang Senyan's ears were almost erected, but... but there was no sound below! The old bitch began to talk to himself:
"Hey, I haven't talked so much with others for a long time. I'm so thirsty. I wonder if the gold rum from the Iron Hoop Bar next door has arrived."
Fang Senyan held back his anger and could only go to the bar next door to ask. He was told that there was, but it was one pound per keg (roughly the weight of a beer now). In desperation, he could only spend money to buy it to honor the old man. After tasting the wine, Mughal was probably satisfied and finally told the whole story.
It turned out that the old man was a ruined nobleman in India. When he was young, he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he became a sailor and came to Europe on the ship of the East India Company at that time. When he was poor and destitute, he met a group of gypsies. Mogul was forced by poverty and went to steal. As a result, he was discovered by a gypsy and accidentally killed someone.
Gypsies are a wandering people, just like the nomads on the grassland, but nomads are chasing water and pastures. They are constantly moving from one town to another in caravans, so their status is very low and the law has little protection for them. Under such circumstances, the murderer Mogul escaped, but he had nightmares every day from then on, and the content of the nightmare was the process of his killing.
After a month of this, Mogul, who was almost mentally collapsed, took the initiative to return to the gypsy tribe, and then he knew that the person who cast the curse was the fiancée of the man he killed - Tatasha. Because Tatasha's marriage was not actually chosen by her, her hatred for Mogul was not deep. She just wanted Mogul to be a servant for three years and then let him go free.
After taking a sip of golden rum, Mogul sighed and said:
"Tell me, what is her message?"
Fang Senyan stared into Mogul's eyes and said the most crucial words in this hidden mission:
"The living nurture the dead, loneliness kills passion, nine wild ducks fly over a tiger."
After hearing this completely bizarre sentence, the wrinkles on Mogul's face became deeper. After a long time, he shook his head, walked back to the room, took out a crystal clear fragment, and handed it to Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan immediately got a hint:
"You have obtained the mission prop: the gypsy's prophecy crystal ball fragment. Use: It will illuminate the way forward in your life and lead you to the right fork in your life."
When the mission reached this step, it had nothing to do with the old man Mogul. Fang Senyan also breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the seaside, held the crystal ball fragment in his hand and put it into the sea water. The crystal ball fragment immediately emitted a faint light and then melted away. Then the light slowly gathered, forming a line of words on the sea surface like phosphorescence, which disappeared after a long time:
"When the midnight bell rings, the sobbing of the dead will be restored to reality, the dust of history will be wiped away, and the truth will soon be revealed."
Fang Senyan stood up and sighed with satisfaction. If the task was completed here, then there was only one last step left: just get here at midnight. Although Kerry was cunning, he was just playing tricks, because he also knew that if he went too far and the two of them fell out, he would definitely suffer a big loss as he was still in a weak position.
At this time, Fang Senyan stood up and was about to go to the port to find out more information. By the way, he still had some money left, so he wanted to drink a few glasses of rum to save up the "Drunkard" milestone, but he was surprised to find that his current "Drunkard" milestone had actually increased to 72/100! The milestone point had inexplicably increased by 50 points! He thought carefully and immediately thought of the gold rum he bought for Mogul and drank a few sips with him - could this kind of gold rum be worth ten glasses of ordinary rum?
With this in mind, Fang Senyan immediately went to the Iron Hoop Bar and asked to buy two more barrels of gold rum! But he was ruthlessly told that it was sold out, and no matter how much money he paid, it would be useless. In desperation, he had to go back to find Mogul. Who knew that he could see the old man was obviously drunk from a distance, sleeping on the counter, and the two small oak barrels next to him were scattered and piled up on the side. Obviously, the golden rum left in them could only be described as "drops". In desperation, he could only come with high spirits and return with disappointment.
Looking at the remaining 28 cups on the milestone, Fang Senyan calculated that it was probably the amount of six or seven bottles of beer. It was not an unacceptable task for him, so he simply sat down and drank, but the people next to him in the bar were immediately stunned. Most of the people who came to the bar were for entertainment. Even those who had a good alcohol tolerance came to drink with a leisurely mood, not like Fang Senyan who poured wine into his mouth one cup after another. He looked like he was drinking rum as water!
Fang Senyan, however, drank the remaining 28 cups in one breath, as if no one was around. He suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and received a series of prompts from the Nightmare Mark:
"You have completed the first milestone as a contractor."
"Your merit value is 1." (The next merit value increase is to accumulate and complete ten milestones)
"You have obtained the title: Drunkard."
"Drunkard: When you drink alcoholic beverages, your hit rate decreases by 3 and your critical hit rate increases by 4, which lasts for 60 minutes."
"Only one title can be effective at the same time. Do you want to equip the title/drunkard at this time?"
"Advanced Milestone: Drunkard is enabled."
"Drunkard conditions: drink all kinds of rum, the types are as follows."
"Mulantan: by Viacra Produced by La Santa Fe Rum Company."
"Ronrico: Rum produced by Prutoliku."
"Lambs potato rum: Exclusive liquor for the British Navy."
"Cockspum: Produced by Key Company in the West Indies."
"Lemonhart rum: Provided by Hatto Company, a trader of sugar and rum."
Fang Senyan was quite satisfied with the title of "Drunkard", because for him who was good at close combat, it was not as accurate as long-range shooting. Once there was a slight error, it would be a big mistake. The impact of reducing the hit rate by 3 was not serious, but the additional 4 critical hits were very tempting. In other words, even if he had to exchange 3 hits for 2 critical hits, Fang Senyan would not hesitate.
More importantly, don't forget Fang Senyan's predicament in the real world. At this time, he may face the dual pursuit of the state machine and the gang! Even if he could obtain powerful equipment and weapons in space, he could not bring them into the real world, and it would not help improve his situation. But the title was like his basic attributes, an abstract thing, and would not be subject to such constraints! In this way, it would undoubtedly ease his situation in the real world.
At this time, Fang Senyan had an endless thought in his mind... Those famous drunken boxers in Chinese history before, could they be contractors who had obtained milestones related to alcohol like himself! So as long as there was no alcohol, they could not activate the title, so their strength would naturally drop significantly.
