Doomsday Totem

Chapter 63 Buying a Boat
After a while, the old accountant finally found out who the captain was, and hurried forward to shake hands affectionately, and said some words of apology.

"I'm here to get the money." The captain said impatiently.

The old accountant nodded and bowed and said "OK" three times. He hunched over and went back to the counter. He took out a thick ledger that was half the size of a tabletop, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully examined the mung bean-sized ledger on it.

After counting for about 10 minutes, the old accountant straightened up and said, "Master, you have a deposit of 20 gold coins here, do you want to withdraw all of it?"

"Ah?" The captain opened his mouth in disbelief, then frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This is a black shop, did you see that a zero was missing? Last time I saved 200 gold, how did it become 20 gold."

"This... please wait a moment, I'll take a look again." The old accountant looked down for a while, frowned and said, "No, it clearly says 20 gold, and it was only deposited in this spring."

"You must be old and dizzy, 200 gold, that's right, when did I lie to you." The captain said confidently.

"But...but..."

"What is it, look..." The captain stretched out two fingers, put them together, and asked the old accountant, "How much is this?"

The old accountant raised his reading glasses, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and replied uncertainly, "This... this is 'one'."

"Look, these are two fingers. It's two fingers, but you say it's one." The captain said while spreading his fingers.

The old accountant laughed "hehehe" and said, "I'm getting old, I can't see clearly, 200 gold, okay, I'll get it for you." After finishing speaking, the old accountant took out a bag from his pocket Take the brass key, turn around and open the safe at the back.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the captain grinned at Wu Congyun, that complacent look was a bit wretched.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Third Grandpa! Don't believe him, he is a big liar."

The captain's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a girl lift the curtain of the inner room and come out.

This girl was in her twenties and eight years, and she exuded a domineering youthful atmosphere.Under the afternoon sun, her skin was dazzlingly white, and the roundness and plumpness of her chest was even more shocking. Just looking at it makes people feel tempted and want to commit crimes...

The captain knows her, her name is Ling Zhenyu, she is the second lady of the Ling family in Luoyan Town, and this shipyard (armed flying geese) is the property of the Ling family.

"Second miss, long time no see." The captain said with a smile on his face, but in fact, he was almost dying of hatred in his heart.Killing an elf on the way made all his plans come to naught.

After coming out, Ling Zhenyu stared at the captain intently, the light waves flowing in those eyes, as if water was about to drip.She has a wide face with a sharp chin, coupled with these big smart eyes, and a small pouty mouth, she is so cute that she is about to explode.

The captain felt an inexplicable guilt, and was about to turn his head and look elsewhere.At this moment, Ling Zhenyu suddenly stretched out two white onion-like fingers and asked him, "How much is this?"

"I can't see clearly." The captain replied solemnly, and suggested, "Come closer."

Seeing the captain lightly dismissing the other party's way of dealing with others, Wu Congyun, who was waiting at the side, sighed secretly, "What an old rascal, how shameless."

The girl bit her lip, pulled the old accountant back to the counter, looked at the account book, and then said with a straight face, "20 gold, interest 1 silver, do you want to withdraw all of it?"

But the captain answered irrelevantly, saying, "I want to buy a boat."

"Buy a boat, good good good good good good business." The old accountant agreed with his bright eyes.

"What boat to buy? Besides..." Ling Zhenyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you have money?"

"Brother traveling across the seven seas, will he be short of money?" The captain replied confidently.

"Is it uncle?" Ling Zhenyu reminded.Although she showed disdain, she still brought the list of fishing boats.

The captain sat on the sofa and flipped through the pages.After a while, the captain turned to the last page, pointed to one of the items and said, "I want this, nuclear powered."

Ling Zhenyu took a closer look. This is the information of "Deep Sea Explorer", the most advanced ship that Armed Feiyan can manufacture.

"The basic budget is 7650 gold, uncle, are you sure you have enough money?"

"Uncle Across the Seven Seas..."

Ling Zhenyu interrupted him, wrinkled his little nose, and said, "You have a lot of beards, can you speak some serious words?"

The captain grinned, patted his head, turned to the first page of the list, pointed to one of the items and said, "I want this."

"The sloop... are you sure you can go to sea?" "Just install a small fuel engine, and it is usually driven by wind."

"Well, the budget is 575 gold. Since you are a regular customer, Zhenyu will give you a discount on his own initiative, a total of 560 gold." Ling Zhenyu said in a business-like manner.

"Look at it for many years..." The captain smiled maliciously and said in a drawn out voice.

"Buy it now, 500 gold, it can't be lower!" Ling Zhenyu said through gritted teeth.

The captain nodded, and said self-consciously, "That's right, your dad will spank you any lower."

"You...your father beat you...your whole family...all..." Ling Zhenyu blushed and was a little incoherent.Later, the captain asked to speak to her alone, but she refused without thinking.

"Come on, let's have a good chat." The captain changed his tone and persuaded with a deep and deep voice.

"No." "Let's talk about the details." "Let's talk about it here~" "I want to keep some design issues secret, such as the placement of the safe and the location of the emergency switch."

The captain begged for a long time, and finally Ling Zhenyu couldn't hold back his soft-heartedness, and led him into the VIP room.

After closing the door, the captain smiled and grabbed Ling Zhenyu's little hand and kissed it.Ling Zhenyu didn't resist, and stared at him with lowered eyelids, and made a "hum" sound with her small mouth.

"I miss you, do you miss me?" The captain said cheekily.

"Cut~ If the poisonous spider hadn't snatched your boat back, you would still remember who I am~" Ling Zhenyu said unhappily.

"Such a beautiful chick, how can I forget." "Bad guy..." During the chatter, the two held hands with their fingers interlocked...

After half an hour...

"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door of the VIP room.

The two quickly sat down, each picked up the materials, and put on a look of negotiating.

"Please come in." Ling Zhenyu shouted.After getting her consent, a man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes walked in. "Brother, why are you here?" Ling Zhenyu exclaimed.The man didn't speak, he went straight to the captain and glanced around.Some details show that this is not like a negotiation scene.

"You want to buy a boat?" the man asked.

The captain nodded. The man in front of him was Ling Tianqi, the eldest son of the Ling family and the person in charge of Arming Feiyan.

"I heard from the third master that the sloop you want is out of stock, and the second sister doesn't understand the market, so she quoted the wrong price. The budget is 820 gold." Ling Tianqi said.

"Brother..." Ling Zhenyu pushed Ling Tianqi's shoulder coquettishly.

"What do you mean? By the way, where is my 'Yulong'? I just sent it over the morning before yesterday. Why is it missing?" the captain said with a dark face.

"You..." Ling Tianqi pointed at the captain, unable to speak for a while.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ling Zhenyu pursed his lips and smoothed things over, "Stop fighting, you two were drunk and slept together last time."

"Impossible!" "No way." The two denied in unison.After this little episode, they sat down face to face and talked seriously.

Ling Tianqi suggested that the captain buy a second-hand fishing boat.Some time ago, the captain of the "Beidou" was in short supply and mortgaged the ship to the shipyard.Now that the redemption period has passed, the shipyard is free to dispose of it.This is an escort-class ship that uses a fuel turbine engine and is loaded with six cannons. It has excellent performance and is very cheap, only selling for 650 gold.

The captain frowned and thought for a while, this is not some sweet pastry, but Ling Tianqi's plan to cause trouble.The shipyard neither wanted to offend the captain of the Beidou nor break the rules, so the best way was to find someone to take over.In the future, if the captain of the Beidou wants to come back, he can only find trouble.As for the rest of the matter, no matter how they fought to the death, it had nothing to do with the shipyard anyway.

However, they are all black and black pirates, and they have no scruples about it.It's just that it's not worthwhile to make too little profit and cause trouble.

"Is the price too high for a second-hand pirate ship?" said the captain.

"How much money do you have?" Ling Tianqi asked.

The captain grinned and said, "All the property belongs to your third master."

"Damn! How dare you come to buy a boat with 20 gold!" Ling Tianqi cursed involuntarily.

"A little credit." "No way!" "Brother." "Who is your brother..." "Big brother." "Who is your big brother!"

The captain saw that he could not be soft, so he had to be tough, and threatened, "Ling Tianqi, don't be shameless, the captain of the Arctic is a high-level brass bug mutant, you can't afford to offend."

"Isn't he just a brass-ranked one? If he dares to make trouble, I'll bombard him!" Ling Tianqi slapped the table and shouted.

"Why so excited?" said the captain.

"Brother, if you get angry, you will hurt your body." Ling Zhenyu also persuaded.

"How about this, the price is 500 gold, don't forget it." "For the sake of friendship for many years, how about 480 gold?" "Deal!"

As soon as Ling Tianqi finished speaking, the captain regretted it.He felt that the lower price was too little. After all, in this sea area, there were not many people who dared to take this scalded potato.In order to maintain dignity and rules, the shipyard will sell the ship even for as little as 1 silver coin if no buyer can be found.

"Let's start with some credit. I just took over a big business, and I plan to send a big benefactor across the sea. At least 500 gold will be earned." The captain exaggerated and said 200 gold more.However, how did he know that the so-called big money owner was carrying boxes at a nearby pier, but he was actually poorer than him.

"At least give half of the money first, 240 gold." Ling Tianqi said helplessly.

"I want to apply for a loan." The captain said seriously.In this area, most shipyards provide fund storage and turnover services, which are equivalent to private banks for deep-sea fishermen.

"No, you have too many bad records."

"That's it..." the captain said desperately, "I am the first mate of Yulong, and I will take the loan in the name of Captain Yuluo."

"No!" Ling Tianqi categorically refused. There is no reason to borrow money in someone else's name, and he is also a poisonous spider, one of the evil stars of the Black Sea.

"She can mention my boat in the name of the captain, but I can't borrow money in her name. Ling Tianqi, do you have principles? Do you have professional ethics?" The captain said confidently.

In the end, under the coercion and lure of the captain, Ling Tianqi was forced to agree to a loan of 50 gold, plus the original deposit, now he had 70 gold, and 170 gold was needed to pick up the ship.The captain vowed that he would be able to get the money back immediately, and left the first officer to cooperate with the transformation of the Beidou, and then left the shipyard with Wu Congyun.

Before leaving, Ling Zhenyu secretly stuffed a small delicate purse, opened it, and found that there were 32 gold in it.

"It's so good." The captain leaned forward and kissed several times.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ling Zhenyu was ashamed and annoyed, wiped the saliva on her pretty face, turned around and ran away...
