Chapter 18 This is the Latest Technology
The wine barrel was placed in the very center of the stern.
Mo Ning leaned against the ship's side, directing and watching over the ship, while his two pirate henchmen were in charge of navigating it.
The ship had already left the port, and Fang Qi was feeling a bit bored.
Before, I would go hungry for a long time after eating one meal, sometimes without a proper meal.
He rarely gets a full meal these days, and even several hours later he still feels a bit bloated, which he finds rather unusual.
Loshi was still drunk, and Moning and the pirates couldn't communicate, so there was no one to talk to.
With nothing else to do, he habitually opened the trading terminal and character panel.
Add some points!
I leveled up to level 19 in one go, and only then did the feeling of being stuffed ease a little.
Reaching level 20 requires 2000 index points, and I'm still short by more than 400, so I can't click on them.
This couldn't be rushed, so Fang Qi simply closed the panel and opened the player forum instead.
A new post has already been posted there, about the first clear of the "Underground Cemetery" dungeon.
Posted by: Sam Lai.
"I successfully cleared the Underground Cemetery despite being above my level and got the first kill. To be honest, the mobs and bosses in this map are really disgusting. I suggest that people who are easily scared or have a weak mentality should not come here. Here is a first-person perspective video of the clear."
Fang Qi clicked on it and took a look.
Ha, the abridged version, they even cut out the crucial actions like drinking the potion.
However, some observant viewers still noticed the problem.
「不对啊，主T挨打为什幺不掉血，是副本机制？你们看10：33，15：05还有25：30的时间！」
"The person upstairs is really observant, but I think it was brought from outside! My teammates and I have already thoroughly searched the entire dungeon, but we haven't found any mechanisms, runes, potions, or anything like that..."
"Did you plow the banshee too? How did it feel?"
"He's alright looking. I'm recording... wait, this main tank's name seems to be 'Sword-wielding Guard.' I'm going through the replays, and I think I saw him at the outpost treasure chest this morning..."
"Who would record a game all the time? ... Also, that treasure chest belongs to the recently popular Mysterious Merchant."
The players were all talented, and with their chatter, they managed to piece together a fairly complete picture of the truth.
One player summarized it.
"I was only able to pass the level smoothly because I obviously exchanged the small blue immunity potion from the mystery chest. Looks like I'll have to carry more money with me from now on and try my luck; you never know what good stuff I might get!"
"That's right, that's right, bring more money." Fang Qi nodded, completely agreeing with the player's point of view.
After glancing at it casually and flipping to the back, I finally found a player providing a proper strategy guide.
It's said that you have to complete a long series of tasks to get the key item. The bodyguard with the sword uses a completely slacking-off approach, and you need the resistance potion from the mysterious merchant to succeed.
However, it is clear that most players do not want to do long-term tasks and prefer to skip classes and tough it out.
What followed was a large-scale search for medicine and for him.
Where can I buy the little blue bottle? I want to buy a pack to stock up!
"Another package? This treasure chest merchant is elusive; you should be grateful if you run into him even once!"
"Holy crap, this is the mysterious merchant you guys were talking about? I haven't even put any coins in it yet, why did it eat me? Attached picture: A genuine long-legged treasure mimic."
"You're fake... Never mind, send me the coordinates, I'll go try it."
Seeing how enthusiastic the players were about feeding him, Fang Qi was immediately motivated.
He wanted to sell more, but now that there's no stock, isn't there?
I only have one scale on hand, and I can only extract it once a week to refine it into four bottles of potion. The production capacity is really not good.
"Wait here, I'll go get the goods right away and sell them to you at a high price!"
Fang Qi closed the forum, and a pirate ship flying the classic skull and crossbones flag was already in sight.
"Two people, move the things upstairs and put them in..." Mo Ning suddenly stopped.
"Place it in the cafeteria or kitchen," Fang Qi quietly added.
"Move to the cafeteria!" Mo Ning waved his hand.
"A mess hall? Captain, we don't have a mess hall. The brothers just get their food and squat down anywhere to eat." The young pirate was confused.
"Just move it when I tell you to, stop arguing." Mo Ning, losing face, reprimanded the pirates watching the commotion on deck.
"What are you looking at? Go clear out a warehouse, and the canteen will be located there from now on."
The pirates scattered in a panic.
Once Fang Qi was carried up, the warehouse remained the same warehouse.
It took a dozen or so pirates half a day to barely clear a spot to put the barrel.
Seeing this, Mo Ning's face darkened completely: "You bunch of brats, I've only been gone for a few days, and you've turned the world upside down!"
He drew his long sword from his waist, intending to find someone foolish enough to establish his authority.
Fortunately, the blond pirate who had been following them was quick-witted and smoothed things over: "Captain, calm down. The brothers haven't had any business for two months, and they're all itching to go."
He lifted the lid of the barrel: "The captain sent some fine wheat beer for the brothers, smell the aroma!"
The pirates were all seasoned drinkers; they could tell from the smell that it was genuine wheat beer, so they all came closer.
Mourning also sensed something was amiss.
The problem is that the familiar not only fills himself with wine, but also wants to set up a special canteen. What does this mean?
Is he addicted to playing the role of a wine barrel, or is he going to sell wine?
It can't really be a welfare program for the pirates...
If it weren't for the fact that the familiar had spoken earlier, Mo Ning would have thought he had brought the wrong thing.
Unaware of the adults' true thoughts, he could only stand aside in silence.
The pirates circled the barrel several times but couldn't find the cork for drawing the wine.
Then someone had a bright idea. They rummaged around for a bit and found a hammer and a chisel, and were about to make a hole in the barrel.
Just as Mo Ning was about to stop them, she heard a "thump" sound, as if something had popped out.
Fang Qi popped out a wooden board.
It wasn't that I was afraid the pirates would make holes in me; if those things were to chisel into my body, they would only tickle me for a couple of seconds.
Instead, now that everyone is almost there, we can start our big money-making plan.
The pirates stopped what they were doing, looked at the plank, exchanged glances, and finally focused their attention on their captain at their feet.
"Why are you looking at me? What's this?" Mo Ning was too short to see the wooden sign, and asked with a dark face.
"There are words on it, but none of the brothers can read them."
"Take it down... Never mind, I'll look at it myself, you guys move aside."
Upon hearing this, the pirates took two steps back.
Mo Ning jumped up from the spot, leaping three times his own height!
This time he saw it clearly: "Pure wheat wine, only ten gold coins are needed to get it; and alchemy master's specially blended medicinal wine is also in stock, please stay tuned."
The pirates erupted in an uproar, all staring at their captain once more, their meaning clear:
Brothers, you have to pay for a drink? What's this all about?
You can watch dancers perform at pubs, but this place has nothing?
To be honest, Mourning was a little confused as well.
But having been an undercover agent for so long, he was not lacking in adaptability, and immediately began to make things up:
"This is the latest magical technology I've acquired from Talosha—an automatic wine vending machine. It's a rare find. You can use it, but don't get any other ideas, or else..."
He took out his long knife and sharpened it a couple of times.
"So it was for transporting goods."
The pirates behaved themselves, at least on the surface.
Several pirates exchanged glances and winked at each other.
Come tonight.
"no problem."
