This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 176 Greedy Ernesto, the Tyrannical Mosasaur
"Crescent Islands? Crown of the Ocean?" Ernesto took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication, "I smell gold coins from these names, my friend!"

Ji Chen was slightly taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Maybe...let's get straight to the point. I don't know what products you brought, Mr. Ernesto?"

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 goblin will definitely satisfy every customer!"

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

"Little ones, put down box No. 1! Customers want to see the goods!"

"Good Le!"

On the front deck of the Goblin Merchant Ship, a hole was suddenly opened, and a platform was slowly raised. On the platform was a three-meter-long, wide-by-high cube metal box, on which a number representing "1" was spray-painted.

The goblin sailor who operated the marine crane on the ship precisely stuck the hook into the lifting ring on the top of the metal box, hoisted it up, and placed it on the dock over the ship's side.

The dull landing sound indicated that the box itself and the contents inside were not light.

Immediately afterwards, Ernesto went up and groped the box for a few times, a round hole suddenly appeared on the smooth surface, and a ray of light shot out from it. After scanning Ernesto from feet to head several times, click It opened to both sides with a bang, revealing the inner space.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, my good guy, it turned out to be a high-tech safe?
In such a world with a medieval background in general, this kind of technological presentation is somewhat out of place.

Ernesto opened the box and made a gesture of invitation, "Guest, check to see if there is anything you are interested in."

Ji Chen nodded slightly and looked up.

In the metal box that was opened on one side, there are three layers of shelves, each layer contains several items, such as weapons, armor, blueprints, etc., but the same thing is that they are all of the same value and belong to the same level of things .

Ji Chen just glanced at it casually, then shook his head in distaste. They were things that were not even treasures, and he didn't like them.

"I'm not very interested in these broken things, is there a better one?"

Hearing this, Ernesto was not angry but happy, knowing that he met a big client, he quickly said: "Of course, the goblin will not let you down!"

"Guys! Hurry up and get box No. 2, no, No. 3!"

The crane on the goblin merchant ship hoisted the No. 1 box back, and put the metal box with the number 3 down.

In the same way, Ernesto opened the box to reveal its contents.

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

Ernesto, as a goblin caravan consul, naturally has a strong ability to perceive words and emotions. He quickly noticed the change in Ji Chen's eyes, and with a smile on his face, he took a treasure from the shelf.

The appearance is a round glass ball, which contains a miniature model of a spring.

【Natural spring】

[Level]: 3 star treasure

[Effect]: After use, a freshwater spring can be formed (the daily water output is enough for 5000 people to drink)

【Indispensable natural treasures in deserts, islands and other water-scarce territories】

Oh?It looks pretty good.

Seeing this spring treasure, Ji Chen remembered what Willus reported a few days ago about the fresh water problem of the crown of the ocean.

The main water source of the crown of the ocean is the lake water from the peaks in the northeast, as well as various rivers.

As the crown of the ocean develops faster and faster, the population has exploded, from hundreds to thousands, from thousands to tens of thousands, and the demand for fresh water has also increased sharply. The water source on the island's surface alone has become somewhat unsustainable. For the further development of the territory, although there is extremely rich groundwater under the island, how to exploit it is a difficult problem.

Therefore, for the future expansion of Ocean Crown, finding ways to increase easy access to water sources is a noteworthy issue.

"The 3-star top treasure natural spring can fully solve the daily drinking water problem of 5000 people. It is simply an excellent treasure in a territory that lacks fresh water!"

"Children say no old man, the price is 15 gold coins!"

You might as well grab it! ?

This goblin is too dark.

Ji Chen almost wanted to curse. A 3-star treasure sold for 15. You must know that it only cost 3 gold coins to buy a 5-star treasure shield bracelet from a player. Now it has doubled directly. blacken.

Although he is rich, he is not taken advantage of.

The value of this treasure is at most 8 gold coins.

Thinking of this reasoning, Ji Chen resolutely refused, with a resolute tone.

"Your Excellency Ernesto, this price seems a bit exaggerated, far exceeding its value."

"Although this natural spring is a rare natural treasure, it is a treasure for the island. However, although the crown of the ocean is located on the island, there are not many fresh water resources on the island. It is only a matter of exploitation and cost. .”

"So it's not worth the gold coins I spent so much, but if you still open your mouth like a lion, then the crown of the ocean won't welcome you."

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

Seeing Ji Chen's resolute refusal, Ernesto couldn't help but frowned, and began to think in his heart.

Is this different from what it thought before?

To own such a vast, densely populated and prosperous territory, with so many troops and heroes, this lord should be very rich, why can't he even get 15 gold coins?

You must know that the last guest spent a full 16 gold coins to get it from it crying.

Well, though that deal was done at the sight of the barrel.

Well, it admitted that its own bid just now was indeed a little higher, so it wouldn't be so firm to refuse, right?
After looking at this island with an area of ​​at least a hundred square kilometers, lush forests and abundant resources, and Ji Chen's tough attitude, Ernesto believed his words.

The tone is inevitably softer.

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

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

"Dear friend, you're hurting our hearts by saying that. Honest and fair goblins sell things that match their bids. Not a cent!"

"Well, although I will lose money, the goblin is willing to make concessions for my dear friend. We may have a little talk about the price."

Highly matched, willing to make concessions for friends?

I bother!

If the actuary is honest and fair, then human beings are all great good people! ?

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

"Oh? 13 gold coins, maybe at this price..."

"It's thirty thousand gold coins!"

Hearing this, Ernesto jumped up like a dog with fried hair, "Impossible, no goblin merchant can accept this price!"

"This is a 3-star top-level natural treasure, not a street stall!! If it is sold at such a pitiful price, the god of trading will cry!"

15 was suppressed to [-], even the most stupid ogre felt that it would not work!How much less it has to earn!

Seeing the jumping goblin consul, Ji Chen said calmly.

"Since you think it's not good, what price do you think is right?"

"At least 12! This is the best price offered by the goblins!"

His understanding of goblins has been refreshed again.

Sure enough, greedy and stingy enough!
Grandet is not even one percent of them.

Unknowingly, Ji Chen became a little less interested in this transaction.

After thinking a lot in my heart, I suddenly thought of something.

Why am I serious about making deals with these goblins?

Our real side job is pirates!
"No, it has to be cheaper, otherwise it's just a shot and two pieces!"

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, as if he didn't agree and let it go.

Looking at this scene, Ernesto felt a little joy in his heart, with a difficult and distressed look on his face, and heaved a heavy sigh as if he had given up.

"Alright then, since your Excellency has said so, in order to maintain our relationship, then another seven thousand gold coins will be dropped! 12!"

"make a deal!"

One party pays and the other party delivers.

Ji Chen got the 3-star natural treasure natural spring, but one-fifth of the more than [-] gold coins he owned disappeared in an instant.

But he doesn't feel distressed at all. Anyway, he will come back sooner or later, so he will put the money where you put it for deposit first.

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

After completing another deal with Ernesto.

Ji Chen said intentionally or unintentionally: "Since your cartons are numbered, wouldn't the higher the number, the rarer and more precious the things stored in the carton?"

Ernesto, who had long been fascinated by the transactions and gold coins, seemed to have become good friends with Ji Chen and said everything without hesitation. He only hesitated slightly when he heard this, and said.

"That's right, the higher the number of the container, the more precious the things inside, and the higher the level of protection!"

"Oh? Protection level?"

"That's right, every cargo box must be authenticated by me before it can be opened, otherwise it can only be opened violently, but how can it be easily broken open by violence?"

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

Ernesto and Ji Chen made many deals and were in a great mood. At this time, he said as if showing off: "Each cargo box combines the alchemy and mechanical technology of the goblins. It is not only made of special metals, It is extremely strong and resistant to blows, and ordinary physical and magical attacks can't do anything to it."

"Even if it can be forcibly broken open from the outside, once the internal device senses that the shell is broken, it will immediately detonate the big thing inside, causing a violent explosion and destroying everything inside!"

"BOOM~ By the way, the enemy will also be blown to pieces! How about it, this idea is a genius!" Ernesto made a gesture of explosion, with an excited and exaggerated expression.

He glanced sideways at the cargo box.

Although he didn't know what a big guy was, Ji Chen knew it wasn't something fun, so he should pay more attention.

"Okay ~ let's continue with the great and gold-coin-scented transaction!"

"Guest, do you need anything else? This time we crossed the ocean from the Eastern Continent and returned to the home of the Goblins in the Western Continent - the Giant Tooth City. If you miss this opportunity, you have to wait until the next transaction opportunity. It will be a few months away!"

Pulling his eyes back from the cargo box, Ji Chen pondered for a while, "I need a powerful unit, and it needs to be of the marine department, and the higher the rank, the better."

Hearing this, Ernesto's eyes flashed brightly, and he rubbed his hands together.

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

"Little ones, bring me the No. [-] container!!"

After more than ten minutes, the crane lowered a two-meter-long, wide-by-high cube metal cargo box to the ground.

Different from the previous ones, this cargo box has three layers of protection, and each layer needs to be scanned and opened with a key.

This made Ji Chen involuntarily curious, what kind of unit cores are contained in such a tightly guarded cargo box?

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

A recruiting battalion core as big as a skull, inside is a miniature giant creature.

"Hey hey hey, something is here~ please check if you are satisfied."

As Ernesto said, he carefully took out the core and placed it on a shelf covered with soft cotton pads.

Ji Chen walked a little closer and stared at it.

【Tyrannosaurus】

【Race】: Mosasaur
[Level]: Tier 5, [-] stars

[Initial Level]: 20
[Skills]: Ice Breath (red skill, can breathe out ice breath, causing great damage to the body and soul of the enemy)

[An alien member of the Mosasaurus family, who is especially good at killing and fighting, possessing the mighty power of a huge wave and the terrifying explosive power]

The first time he saw this thing, Ji Chen didn't think about getting it, but how much it could sell for?

Tier 5, 20 stars, initial level [-], five red skills, not inferior to the special effects of hero units.

Furious about the mosasaurus, the three words "strong and invincible" were written on his face.

This is an existence that is several times stronger than the biped skeleton dragon under Skeleton King Sorin.
