Last Totem Novel - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Buy A Boat
After a while, Old Accountant finally found out who the captain was. He hurriedly walked forward and shook hands affectionately and said something apologetic.

“I’m here to get the money.” Said the captain impatiently.

The old accountant nodded and bowed three times. He bent his back and returned to the counter. He took out a thick book that was half the size of a table. He took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the account that was the size of a mung bean.

About ten minutes later, the old accountant straightened up and said, “Master, you have 20 gold coins in here. Do you want to withdraw all of them?”

“Ah?” The captain opened his mouth wide in disbelief. Then, he frowned and said in a deep voice, “You guys are a black shop. Don’t you think you’re missing a zero? I obviously saved 200 gold last time, but how did it turn into 20 gold?”

“This … please wait a moment, I’ll take a look again.” Old Accountant looked down for a while and frowned. “No, it clearly says 20 gold. It was only deposited this spring.”

“You must be dizzy from old age. 200 gold. That’s right, when did I lie to you?” Said the captain confidently.

“But … but …”

‘”What’s that? Look” The captain stretched out two fingers and put them together. Then he asked Old Accountant, “What’s this?”

Old Accountant raised his presbyopic glasses, squinted his eyes and looked closer, and replied with uncertainty, “This … this is’ One ‘.”

“Look, these are two fingers. They are clearly two, but you said they are one.” Said the captain, opening his fingers.

Old Accountant laughed dryly and said, “I’m a little old and I can’t see clearly. 200 gold, right? Alright, I’ll get it for you.” With that, Old Accountant took out a brass key from his pocket and turned to open the safe behind him.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the captain grinned at Wu Congyun. His complacent expression was rather vulgar.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded from his side, “Third Grandpa! Don’t believe him, he’s a big liar.”

The captain’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously turned around and saw a young girl walk out of the curtain of the inner room.

This young girl was in her twenties and eighties, and her entire body emitted an incomparably tyrannical aura of youth. In the afternoon sun, her skin was dazzling white, and the round and plump chest was even more shocking. Just looking at it made people’s hearts beat, wanting to commit a crime …

The captain knew her. Her name was Ling Zhenyu. She was the second young miss of the Ling Family in Luoyan Town, and this shipyard (armed Feiyan) was the property of the Ling Family.

“Second young miss, long time no see.” The captain smiled as he spoke. In fact, he was already filled with hatred in his heart. Halfway through, he killed an elf ghost, causing all of his plans to be ruined.

After coming out, Ling Zhenyu stared fixedly at the captain. The light in his eyes flowed as if it was about to drip out of the water. She had a wide face with a sharp chin, and with her pair of agile big eyes and slightly pouted lips, she was so cute that she was about to explode.

The captain felt a burst of inexplicable guilt and was about to turn his head to look elsewhere. At this moment, Ling Zhenyu suddenly stretched out two fingers that were as white as onions and asked him, “What is this?”

“I can’t see clearly.” The captain replied solemnly and suggested, “Come closer.”

Watching the captain casually neutralize the other party’s way of returning the favor, Wu Congyun, who was waiting at the side, sighed to himself, “What an old hooligan. Too shameless.”

The girl bit her lips and pulled Old Accountant back to the counter. She looked at the ledger and said with a straight face, “20 gold, 1 silver interest. Do you want to withdraw all of it?”

But the captain did not answer, and said, “I want to buy a boat.”

“Buy a boat, good good good! Good thing, big business.” Old Accountant’s eyes lit up as he echoed.

“What boat? Also …” Ling Zhenyu rolled her eyes and asked, “Do you have money?”

“Brother Zongheng, are you short of money?” The captain replied confidently.

“It’s Uncle, okay?” Ling Zhenyu reminded. Although she was disdainful, 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 and pointed at one of the items, “I want this, nuclear-powered.”

Ling Zhenyu took a closer look. This was the information of the [Deep Sea Explorer], the highest-grade ship that could be built by armed geese.

“The basic budget is 7,650 gold. Uncle, are you sure you have enough money?”

“Uncle traverses the Seven Seas …”

Ling Zhenyu interrupted him and wrinkled her nose, saying, “Your beard is already big. Can you say something serious?”

The captain grinned and patted his head. Turning to the first page of the list, he pointed at one of the items and said, “I want this.”

“Dhow … are you sure you can go to sea?” “Just install a small fuel engine. Usually, it’s powered by the wind.”

“Alright, the budget is 575 gold. Since you are a regular customer, Zhen Yu will give you a discount on her own initiative. A total of 560 gold.” Ling Zhenyu said officially.

“For many years” The captain smiled maliciously and said in a long voice.

“One bite, 500 gold, can’t be any lower!” Ling Zhenyu gritted her teeth and said.

The captain nodded and said to himself, “That’s right, your father will spank you no matter how low you are.”

Ling Zhenyu blushed and said incoherently, “You … your father hit you … your entire family …” Then the captain asked to talk to her alone, but she refused without hesitation.

“Come on, let’s have a good chat.” The captain changed his tone and advised in a deep voice.

“No.” “Let’s talk about the details.” “Let’s talk about it here ~” “There are some design issues I want to keep a secret, such as the placement of the safe and the location of the emergency switch.”

The captain bluntly begged for a long time, but in the end, Ling Zhenyu could not hold back his soft grinding bubble and brought him into the VIP room.

After closing the door, the captain grinned and grabbed Ling Zhenyu’s little hand and kissed her. Ling Zhenyu did not resist. She lowered her eyes and glared at him. She pouted and let out a “hmph”.

“I missed you. Did you miss me?” The captain said shamelessly.

Ling Zhenyu said unhappily, “Tch ~ If it weren’t for the poisonous spider snatching your boat back, you would still remember who I am ~”

“Such a beautiful girl, how can I forget?” “Bad guy …” As they pulled and pulled, the two of them held hands with their fingers clasped together …

Half an hour later …

“Bang bang bang bang” The door to the VIP room was knocked on.

The two of them quickly sat down and picked up their documents, pretending to be in the middle of negotiations.

“Please come in.” Ling Zhenyu shouted. After receiving her approval, a man with a sword-browed star walked in. “Brother, why are you here?” Ling Zhenyu exclaimed. The man did not say anything and walked straight to the captain, glancing around. Some details suggest that this is not the scene of negotiations.

“You want to buy a boat?” The man asked.

The captain nodded. The man in front of him was called Ling Tianqi. He was the eldest son of the Ling Family and the person in charge of arming Feiyan.

“I heard from Third Master that the dhow you want is out of stock, and Second Sister doesn’t know the market. 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? Oh right, where’s my Fishdragon? I just sent it over the morning before yesterday. Why is it missing?” Said the captain with a dark face.

“You” Ling Tianqi pointed at the captain, speechless for a long time.

Seeing the atmosphere turn stiff, Ling Zhenyu pursed her lips and smiled, “You two stop messing around. Last time, you were drunk and slept together.”

“Impossible!” “No way.” The two of them denied in unison. After this episode, they sat down face to face and began to talk seriously.

Ling Tianqi suggested that the captain buy a second-hand fishing boat. A while ago, the captain of the Big Dipper was short of money and mortgaged the ship to the shipyard. Now that the redemption period has expired, the shipyard is free to dispose of it. It was a bodyguard-class ship with a fuel turbine engine and six cannons. It was excellent and cheap, only selling for 650 gold.

The captain frowned and thought for a long time. This was not a hot spot, but Ling Tianqi wanted trouble to flow eastward. The shipyard did not want to offend the captain of the Big Dipper, nor did it want to break the rules. The best way was to find someone to take over. In the future, if the captain of the Big Dipper wanted to come back, he would have to look for trouble. As for what happened afterwards, no matter how hard they fought, it had nothing to do with the shipyard anyway.

However, they were all black-eating pirates, so they didn’t have any misgivings about this at all. However, it was not worth it to make too little profit and cause trouble.

“Second-hand pirate ships, isn’t the price too high?” Said the captain.

“How much do you have?” Ling Tianqi asked.

The captain grinned and said, “All the property is with your third master.”

“F*ck! How dare you buy a boat with 20 gold coins!” Ling Tianqi scolded.

“Credit it.” “No!” “Brother.” “Who is your brother?” “Who is your big brother!”

“Ling Tianqi, don’t be shameless. The captain of the Arctic is a high-grade brass mutant worm. You can’t afford to offend him,” the captain threatened.

“Isn’t he just a brass? If he dares to cause trouble, I’ll bombard him!” Ling Tianqi patted the table and shouted.

“Why are you so excited?” Said the captain.

“Brother, I’m so angry that I hurt my body.” Ling Zhenyu also advised.

“How about this, the price is 500 gold per mouthful. Don’t forget it.” “For the sake of our friendship for many years, how about 480 gold?” “Deal!”

As soon as Ling Tianqi finished speaking, the captain regretted it. He felt that the price was too low. After all, there weren’t many people who dared to receive this scalded potato in this sea area. In order to maintain their dignity and rules, the shipyard would sell the ship even if they could not find a buyer, even if it was as low as one silver coin.

“Credit me for now. I just received a big business. I’m going to send a big patron across the sea. I’ll earn at least 500 gold.” The captain exaggerated 200 gold. However, he didn’t know that the so-called big patron was carrying boxes at the nearby dock. In fact, he was even poorer than him.

“At least half the money first, 240 gold.” Ling Tianqi said helplessly.

“I want to apply for a loan.” Said the captain seriously. In this region, most shipyards provide capital deposit and turnover operations, equivalent to the private banks of deep-sea fishermen.

“No, you have too many bad records.”

‘”How about this …” The captain went all out and said, “I’m the first mate of the Fishdragon. I borrow money in the name of Captain Yuluo.”

“No!” Ling Tianqi resolutely refused. There was no reason for him to borrow money in the name of someone else, and he was also a poisonous spider from one of the Black Sea Great Fiend Stars.

“If she can bring up my ship in the name of the captain, I can’t borrow money in her name. Ling Tianqi, do you have any principles? Do you have any professional ethics?” Said the captain confidently.

In the end, under the captain’s coercion and temptation, Ling Tianqi was forced to agree to a 50 gold loan. In addition to his original deposit, he now had 70 gold and needed 170 gold to carry the ship. The captain swore that he would be able to get the money back soon, leaving behind the chief mate to help transform the Big Dipper before leaving the shipyard with Wu Congyun.

Before leaving, Ling Zhenyu secretly stuffed an exquisite small purse. When she opened it, she saw that there were 32 gold inside.

“So good.” The captain leaned forward and kissed several times.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Zhenyu was both embarrassed and angry. She wiped the saliva off her pretty face and turned around to run away …
