This pirate land is big

Under the premise of "fair trade" and reasonable sales, the first thing Su Mei did when she came to Wenge Port was to thank the angel investors in the sea who were willing to dedicate their lives and freedom. Su Mei received a significant amount of start-up capital.

If such a sum of money is only for personal use, it will definitely be squandered for a long time. But after all, Su Mei is an ambitious young man. He is thinking about becoming famous and doing something big. How can he act like a miser? Xiaojiazi held the money in his hands angrily. This time it was his turn to invest the money.

He hasn't figured out what project to invest in yet, but he hopes to get enough returns.If you are considering going out on the ocean, should you consider gathering manpower as the first step?

He hadn't thought about this yet. In short, he decided to change into suitable clothes first, and then go to a weapons store to buy some "daily necessities" that could be used to reason with others.

And his good mood of getting rich overnight did not last long. After leaving the trading house and just passing through a few streets, he was already sure that someone was following him. It was not that the other party's tracking technology was poor, but that someone was following him. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to silently follow a domineering person.

"Money moves people's hearts. It turns out that the transaction between you and me is just superficial... It's reasonable. After all, I'm a stupid boy from a remote country. I shouldn't have a dream of getting rich overnight. Even if I can have a dream, The rest of the story is nothing more than waking up in the middle of the night.”

After figuring out that it was the people from the trading house who were following him, Su Mei's surprise only lasted for a moment, and he soon recovered.Chaos, disorder, and bullying, isn’t this the underlying logic of this world?Even the pace of development of this matter is exactly what he expected... He doesn't know how to unfold his next "career". Now someone is taking the initiative to provide him with ideas. Isn't this a good thing?

So Su Mei pretended to know nothing and let the other party follow behind him. After wandering on the street for a while, he finally found a clothing store. After rushing in and out, he changed into a better suit. Decent and neat clothes.Moreover, he just asked the locals in this store and found out the location of a relatively reliable weapons store.

He must be the favorite customer in the clothing store. After all, he doesn't talk nonsense and is generous. He just threw three pounds into the store, and if he asks for some common information, the other party will definitely give a reliable answer.In fact, the clothes he was wearing didn't matter. Su Mei mainly wanted a pair of shoes that fit her feet, but for the money he just paid, what he was wearing now was definitely not bad.

In addition to his clothes, he was also carrying a new backpack, and his "big money" was casually stuffed into the bag and carried on his back.

After leaving the clothing store, Su Mei came back to the street and first put a pair of round-frame sunglasses on the bridge of her nose.

Wearing sunglasses at night is not to say that Su Mei is in trouble, but after blocking his vision and senses, his perception of sight, hearing and color becomes more acute... Because his level of sight, hearing and color is currently very low, and now he needs it to fully function. , so this is a trick.

Next, he went straight to the weapons store.

It can only be said that he has changed his clothes now. Otherwise, according to his previous image, with sunglasses and a stick in his hand and a piano on his back, his image would be particularly postmodernist, that is, Talking about it has the mysterious aura of a professional beggar.

About 15 minutes later, I entered the weapons store.Thanks to his improved image, no one will chase him away this time.

But he didn't get a warm reception either. The owner of the weapons store had a lazy attitude towards guests.

The shop owner was sitting behind the counter at the door. After seeing Su Mei enter, he didn't move his buttocks. He just said, "Welcome. We have all kinds of weapons in our shop. The prices are clearly marked. Please feel free to take a look."

"Watch as you like? Everything you need?"

Su Mei whispered, but he did see that several walls in the store were covered with firecrackers of various calibers and cold weapons of different lengths.

There is even a wall with exaggerated false propaganda slogans that Su Mei is very familiar with - time makes classics, years forge brilliance, professional customization, showing high-end taste, exquisite craftsmanship, and creating a kingly style.

He took a casual look and found that the price of cold weapons ranged from tens to hundreds of thousands of beli, while the price of short-fire blunderbuss was much cheaper.Even cheaper.

But the weapons in the shop, the armed swords with wide blades and thick ridges looked very bulky, the swift swords with various handguards were flashy, the side swords were ordinary, the katana... He personally didn't like this shape. After looking around, he In the innermost part, you can see the scimitar placed alone.

Su Mei pushed the sunglasses to her forehead, looked at them carefully, and asked, "Shop owner, can I take a look at this?"

"You have good taste." At some point, the shop owner stood behind Su Mei.

While talking, he took off the knife and handed it to Su Mei.

Su Mei took the sheath and knife, then pulled out the sharp blade and put the sheath aside. According to his understanding, it was a Sheschl scimitar.

In his original world, the Sheshier scimitar was a kind of scimitar originating from Central Asia. Its blade was curved, shaped like a crescent moon, with a simple cross sword grid. The end of the handle was curved downward, almost forming a right angle. hook.In addition to Central Asia, this kind of sword is also widely popular in Gaul. The Ottoman cavalry who used this scimitar once left a deep impression on them...

The knife in front of Su Mei was not exactly the same as the Sheschl scimitar. From his point of view, it could be considered an "improved model."The handle of this knife is decorated with an eagle's beak, and the guard is engraved with exquisite and gorgeous feather reliefs. The curvature of the blade is slightly reduced, the back of the blade is obviously thickened, and the blade is mirror-polished. There seems to be no unnecessary decoration at all.

It can be said that this sword is both simple and gorgeous, and it is very heavy to use. It is a "heavy sword" that can cut people, and it is by no means a show-off.

Su Mei was not a peaceful person in his previous life. Because his restless soul could not be sealed by the mysterious "1.8 joules", he went to the other side of the earth after graduating from college and became a collector of antique firecrackers, that is, He said that he was actually a colleague of the shop owner here.

Although the cold weapons of the middle and modern times are not his main business, he has also dabbled in them.

Su Mei used the ring finger and little finger of his right hand to hold the olecranon on the handle, and then flicked his wrist. The slender blade flipped over, and the back of the blade fell to the crook of his right arm, making a standard one-arm knife holding gesture. action.

Then he held his left hand empty, straightened his left arm, pinched the thumb, index and middle fingers of his right hand together, raised his right arm while pulling back, making a gesture of holding a knife and drawing a bow, as skillfully as a Mamluk who had been in the army for 30 years. Same.

Suddenly, he lowered his arms again, stepped forward quickly with his left foot, and while throwing out his right arm, he pressed down sharply on his right wrist.

His palm suddenly clenched the scabbard, and he slashed out with a sword as fast as lightning. The blade flashed, and in an instant, like a silver snake coming out of its hole, it directly brought the distance that was originally out of reach into the attack range. With a "click" sound With a soft sound, the sharp blade effortlessly cut off a table corner.

"Good knife." He praised.

The shop owner said: "This is of course a good knife. It is a recent work by Master Cole, the legendary master craftsman of Fogaux. It is called 'Wuwu Zhengzuo·Bronze-mounted Bird and Beast Head with Silver Cloud Air Pattern Large Curved Blade·Xiao Cang" orchid'."

Su Mei: "..."

He sheathed the knife again, and then discovered that there were small characters engraved on the back of the knife near the guard, and it was "Freesia" written on it.In other words, this knife is only called Freesia. The shop owner gave it a long name like an unearthed cultural relic. He just wanted to sell it at a high price.

It's obviously a sharp blade that can cut off heads with a single blow, but it's called "Freesia". The knifemaker of this knife must be very disgusting, but looking at the reflection of the bright white and plump blade like petals, Su Mei had to admit it. The name is quite appropriate.He gently turned the blade against the light. From a special angle, he could see the cloud pattern that seemed to be constantly flowing on the mirror-polished blade.

This is certainly a masterpiece.

"What does 'original work' mean?" Su Mei asked again.

"Master Cole is quite prolific, but among the works he casts every year, only the most satisfactory one will be called the original work, and the others are all exercises. In theory, he is the only one who only recognizes the original work as his work and only knows how to do it. Trading such swords is just that his weapons are too popular, whether they are original or other, someone will buy them at a high price."

Putting it this way, Su Mei understood that the essence of the matter was neither a formal work nor a practice, but a hype.

"I want this knife. How much does it cost?"

"The fixed price is 100 pounds," the shop owner said.

100 pounds, which is 400 million berries, is equivalent to about 20 yuan, and a knife is equal to the price of a car.

If you want to ask whether this thing is worth the money, it is probably worth it. This is a masterpiece of chopping copper and iron, blowing hair to pieces, and killing without blood. But if you want to say it is not worth it, then it is probably not worth it. After all, the knife is made of iron. of instead of gold.

If you ask whether the shop owner made money at this price, he must have made money, and he made a lot of money. But if you ask whether he cheated people and whether the other party made money, then you really can’t say that he cheated.In this industry, if you don't want to play, you have to accept this market price.

Even the shop owner of this knife is not in a hurry to sell it. Since Su Mei is also a "fellow traveler", he feels that the other person's next words are true: "I am not in a hurry to sell this knife. As you can see, it is very beautiful. It sells very well; secondly, the price of this kind of masterpiece will only increase year by year. The important thing is that Master Cole is already quite old. If something unfortunate happens one day... you know, so I am happy. Keep it in your hands.”

The ideas of profiteers are always the same, that is, because there will only be appreciation in the future, it is impossible to reduce the price of this knife now, and don't bargain.The shop owner can sell it, but he won't lose money if he doesn't sell it.

What else could Su Mei say?He could only pay decisively.

There would definitely be no discounts, but after the deal was completed, the shop owner gave Su Mei a gun, including gunpowder and lead bullets, as well as a belt specially used to hang weapons.

After a pleasant shopping trip, when Su Mei walked out of the store again, a small figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows. He quickly cut off the shoulder strap of Su Mei's backpack with a blade, and rushed in holding the bag. In the shadows of buildings in the dark night.

Su Mei looked at the direction in which the "robber" who suddenly appeared and fled decisively disappeared, and felt that things were really interesting.

There is no doubt that he likes buying for zero dollars, but he doesn't like being bought for zero dollars.
