Black sail

Chapter 711 XCI. The Attack of the Giant Whale Guest
Lisiter and Whale Guest currently have an irreconcilable conflict.

The main interest of whalers lies in mediating the interests of various countries in the Narrow Sea, which is irreplaceable, and they also possess various industries that are not subject to any regulation.

Because of the large island of Xilan Island located in a narrow sea, it truly developed into a maritime kingdom that never sleeps.

It's essentially an upgraded version of the successful financing and founding of the nation, the Dalinge Golden Waters.

Dolinger was also an unsung member of the Narrow Sea Convention and had once profited from the Narrow Sea. He was a supporter of the system and dumped 60/40 of the goods looted by pirates into the Narrow Sea, thus providing financial support to the system and allowing the East China Sea and the Narrow Sea to be clearly distinguished.

Otherwise, in a lawless area like Heavenly Port, there are plenty of people who want to develop businesses in Dorlinger, and the narrow sea area, which is already rife with problems, wouldn't mind developing business in the East China Sea.

Although Dorringer doesn't need to pay homage to powerful figures, the so-called underworld values ​​harmony above all else.

The Western Continent today.

The North Sea is a war zone between the people of the North Sea Bay, the orcs of the North, and the Western Continent. It has been in chaos for thousands of years and has limited commercial value, but whalers still play around with it.

The Western Sea is a magical place, where an ancient covenant exists with the ancient divine land, prohibiting anyone from crossing the Western Sea in any form or crossing the boundary line centered on the Sacred Tree Island. It has no commercial value.

The South China Sea, which separates the western and southern continents, is connected to the Narrow Sea and is shaped like an inverted T. Its business is encompassed by the Narrow Sea.

In other words, Giant Whale is truly the king of the ocean.

Although Dorringer has established his own independent entity due to the locational advantages of Tianguo Port, it is not a major problem, and he remains the maintainer of this system.

Then Lister took the stage.

I won't hand over the dragon head cane, I won't hand over the account books, I won't hand over anything.

Not only did they establish their own independent faction, but they also undermined the consensus that there should be no order in the East China Sea. The membership buyout system, which ensured safety, replaced the previous risky business model and increased the overall trade volume.

But this still didn't touch the soul.

Lisite also wants to create a maritime tourism destination, and the ultimate goal of commercial competition is cultural tourism and finance.

Xilan Island is to the Western Continent what Vegas is to Emerician—the largest gambling city, a must-visit for wealthy men to show off and party.

Lisiter's plan to create a world gambling city, or to put it simply, is to establish a world gambling center in the Mediterranean, the Holy Roman City, thus encompassing the entire world.

The distance to Heaven's Port is indeed a weakness, but it is only the only one. People from the Western Continent want to experience the romantic encounters of the Far East, and people from the Far East also want to enjoy the pleasures of the Western Continent. If things really get going, the distance won't be a problem.

To address the pain point of the long journey, Lisite had already made preparations, transforming the Sea God... into a passenger cruise ship! In other words, a luxury cruise ship. Anyway, leaving it there is just a waste of money to maintain. They should make use of the spectacle created by Daoist Ye draining the blood of the entire East China Sea.

This ship is a test server, it has everything: restaurants, casinos, theaters, clubs, and more.

Selling tickets through scarcity marketing! A pilgrimage to the center of the universe!

When the time comes, the emperor will beg Li Site to give him a boat ticket, as he also wants to show off and be a rich man.

With the added benefit of the East China Sea Shipyard Island, cruise ships will continue to be custom-built, creating a complete industrial chain.

The "cultural tourism" sector needs to go against the giant whale tourists.

But this only touched a part of the soul, not the whole soul.

Finance, financing, is the ultimate goal of everything.

For any interest group, the idea that foreign investment in their stock is not entitled to dividends is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme.

While this kind of trick isn't something only minor characters would play, it's certainly something only those who are considered low-class would do.

However, foreign investment in the group's operating projects, such as purchasing property rights, leasing contracts, and market development, is different from stock investment. It is market investment, and such revenue generation carries risks.

This is the kind of food real big shots eat. Even though the Narrow Sea's geographical advantages are irreplaceable, it's clear that capital itself prefers the gambling cities of the Western Continent's own people, or the gambling cities of Holy Rome, which encompass the entire country.

If Lister proves the odds are stable, the shift in the balance of power will be fatal for whales.

The Giant Whale is also dancing on the edge of a knife. He only got started by relying on the Narrow Sea Golden Family, the maritime hegemon, and mediating conflicts between countries. He has four kings of the underworld, and even called himself the sixth permanent member of the UN Security Council because he has his own territory and sphere of influence. He is very powerful. Once he loses power, all the powerful countries of the Western Continent will serve him.

So now it's the whale customer who's in a hurry, which is why he sent Li Site a very pretentious invitation letter, a few words about forests and the Way of Heaven, so mysterious and profound, that it made Li Site voluntarily stop growing.

This led to the whales frantically proving that Lister's odds were unstable, and they have repeatedly sent people to Tianguo Port to cause trouble.

This led to Oaks' counterattack, where he led the merman brothers from Mirror Sea to fight against the underworld in Narrow Sea.

Once Lisiter proves his betting odds are stable, he won't even need to lift a finger. If the whales themselves run into operational problems and their economy declines, a bunch of people will surround and devour them. Like his mother, Ymir, who devoured the whales and directly created the Warhammer Whale, the Armored Whale, the damn Attack Whale.

Ultimately, the logic of game theory boils down to this:

The odds are indeed hard to stabilize. The whales aren't stupid; they're incredibly aggressive. Lisite needs to find someone with whom he has a connection. Who is that person?
"We are destined to meet."

Liszt believed that as long as Lostra acknowledged that Heaven's Port was their enclave and that he would become the Governor of the East Sea, then the situation would be completely secure, and the odds couldn't be more secure.

Back then, Dolinger took the wrong medicine and sought out the Kingdom of Yisu in the Southern Continent as his destined person, but their fate was not meant to be.

My connection with Lostella, this connection, it's alright.

The current situation is very optimistic, a favorable situation. The whale is being "served" by various countries, while he himself is the hero of Aran and the first black glove of Lostora, receiving a real massage.

Serene's words about the therapeutic massage made Lister feel a little smug. After a year of intense work, he had now ascended to the heavens, dominating one-eighth of the continent's power. He was going to the Tower of Neverwinter in Pedan to work on his Destiny Seat.

With peace and prosperity throughout the land, one person is enough!
Akasham, in the end, he has to give himself a BLOWJOB.

“A strong endorsement is impossible. You know in your heart that Aran controls Bema, and Bema's east coast handles all trade from the Far East. Forgive my bluntness, but you, the King of the East Sea, only eat the smallest share of the East-West trade. You're just a bandit leader at the distribution center. Don't take the title of King of the East Sea too seriously. Formally recognizing you as the Governor of the East Sea is tantamount to declaring war on Aran. Only a weak endorsement is possible; the honorary title can be discussed. I anticipated this move. With my superior's permission, I've already involved you in Mulong's energy projects. What more do you want?”

Serene spoke frankly, knowing that Alicia had already set off, but she didn't know where Lister was going to be taken.

Negotiation is supposed to be a two-way street, but Li Si Te is just a person, and now they're practically side by side.

After thinking for a moment, Li Si Te understood the principle of cutting the price in half and then raising it back up. Unless it was outrageous, it was difficult to agree to some small requests.

"An honorary title, huh? But I'm a favorite of Soloren now, tsk..."

Alicia is my best friend, and I must respect her personal wishes.

"I can't just let her do whatever I want. How she negotiates with you after she goes to the trade winds anchorage is her business, but I will always protect her. That's one of the two conditions."

Lister believed that a woman of Celine's caliber would understand his subtext.

Celine understood, of course, that this was not a handover, but a sharing, God the hell her best friend's personal will.

"Of course, she's not of any other use besides reciting texts, so having a protector is good. What's the second condition?"

Celine thought it was a bit troublesome, but still within a reasonable range.

"Your current position is at the vice-ministerial level, quite the imposing presence. My second condition is Agent Seventeen."

That's what Li Si said.

"what?"

Celine's eyes widened because she had no idea what Lister was talking about.
