Chapter 148 Fraudster

Chapter 148 "The Deceiver"

"You mean, you want to trade him to me for gold coins! Don't you have any other requirements?"

Qiao Yang frowned and sounded suspicious as he looked at the cautious new captain in front of him and the somewhat strange crew member beside him.

No wonder he was so surprised. He was really lucky today. He gained a lot on the front foot, but then met a captain who wanted to trade a legendary crew member.

That's right, the person who was traded was a legendary crew member, not a sailor, but a sailor, the same level as the original Tina.

However, this guy's appearance and temperament are very ordinary. He is very different from the legends recruited by Qiao Yang himself. He doesn't look like someone with extraordinary talents at all.

In addition, he looked inconspicuous, with a thin build, and was even blind. It could be seen from his blank eyes, and the possibility that he was deaf could not be ruled out.

Of course, there is also something worth noting, that is, this unattractive crew member has very steady hands, so steady that he does not look like a human being at all.

"Yes, I only need 50,000 gold coins, no, 30,000 gold coins is enough. If you think it is too expensive, we can negotiate the price."

Xiao Yi didn't dare to look up at Qiao Yang. There was a guilty conscience in his eyes that could not be concealed. He placed his hands on his sides in confusion, grabbing them a few times from time to time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell from this behavior that he is hiding something, and it is something that is not within the scope of the contract.

The captains of both parties must sign a contract with the crew members obtained through the recruitment module through the recruitment module, in triplicate, two copies belong to the captain, and one copy will be included under the witness of the rules of the endless sea to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the contract.

The most important thing is that after the contract is signed, the ownership of the crew members will be directly changed. Even after the challenge mission is over, the crew members whose ownership has been changed will not return with the original captain, but will be transferred directly to the new captain. At this time of year There will be many successful transactions.

Many children of aristocratic families and some ambitious captains will choose to trade with this group of people to expand their own advantages. After all, the recruited crew members can be cultivated into die-hard loyalists regardless of their potential. From this point of view, they are worth thousands of dollars. .

But this year is a little different. Because Qiao Yang's light is so dazzling that even the new captains who have this idea choose to trade with him, which means they get Xiao Yi. Of course, his extreme A legendary crew recruited by luck.

"Why don't you wait until the full moon trial is over and sell it to those big forces? They will only give you more than me. Although I have made some achievements, my real accumulation is not as good as theirs."

Qiao Yang looked at the weak, even humble Xiao Yi without feeling any pity, and directly asked a relatively pointed question.

He wasn't going to miss this crew member, even though nothing could be seen on the surface. Once the transaction was completed, everything would be known by looking at the crew panel.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi's face turned pale after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and seemed to be hesitating. Finally, he stuttered and replied:

"This guy was born with a lack of senses. Even his legendary qualifications are of no use. The other crew members under my command are not very powerful characters either. We might as well package them up and sell them together."

Qiao Yang was tired of listening. He asked Xiao Yi to speak dozens of words for several minutes. No, why don't we make a draft when we lie?

He sighed helplessly, looked at the legendary crew members waiting to be traded, and said directly:

"The most I can offer is five thousand gold coins. I don't like people who deceive me. If you agree, I'll sign a contract. If it doesn't work, forget it."

"No, at least 10,000, no matter what, Shadow Yi has legendary qualifications!"

When talking about the price, Xiao Yi's reaction was much more normal, but he also showed his true feelings in panic.

Shadowdoll is the name of that legendary crew member.

"Deal, let's sign the contract."

It’s only 10,000 gold coins. Being able to exchange for a legendary crew member at this price is no different from picking it up for free. Xiao Yi must have hidden something, but he doesn’t care. If there is any trouble later, he will kill such a little guy. The character doesn't even require him to do it himself.

"But... ok, deal! Just wait, I'll be there soon!"

He didn't seem to expect Qiao Yang to agree so quickly. He immediately realized that his quotation was a bit low. He subconsciously changed his offer and increased the price. However, under the eyes that were like the gaze of death, he admitted that he was timid. Ten thousand was just ten thousand. , at least you can get rid of the tracking markers.

Xiao Yi glanced at his neck. A special mark that only he could see was twisting on the skin. It looked very much like a disgusting and sticky insect. It was disgusting.

Qiao Yang also noticed his gaze, and his eyes flickered. He discovered a malicious force, but it was not in the latitude he was in. It was more like the soul maggot mother he encountered before, in another place. Dimension.

So he couldn't see anything at the moment. What he could detect was that his perception was astonishing. More information could only be obtained separately.

"This is the contract, please take a look at it!"

Xiao Yi, who had sorted out the contents of the contract, respectfully handed over a piece of exquisitely crafted parchment, which was generated through the Endless Sea contract. The fee is one gold coin, and it also supports use first and pay later. It is a good value for money. .

After a quick glance, there was nothing wrong with the content. With the blessing of various auras, no one dared to blatantly deceive Qiao Yang. That was the old man eating arsenic and seeking death!

After all, how Jiang Tao was found in the first place has long been guessed by a group of capable people. If you want to stroke Qiao Yang's tiger's beard, you must at least have the means to break the pursuit of souls for thousands of miles, otherwise you should just go to sleep.

The price is high, and the reward may not be much. In this era, there are not many fools. It is not worth offending people for a small benefit, especially people like Qiao Yang.

But... Xiao Yi, who is very thoughtful, may not think so.

With a thought, Qiao Yang inspired his mental power and left his unique spiritual mark on the contract. This is also the way the rules of the Endless Sea verify the establishment of the contract, and can also be used to punish those who violate the contract.

What no one noticed was that at the moment Qiao Yang left his mark, the aura on his body suddenly changed. It only lasted for about a tenth of the blink of an eye. If someone hadn't been paying attention to him all the time, they wouldn't have noticed it at all. .

When Xiao Yi saw Qiao Yang completing the signing, he looked happy and quickly left his spiritual imprint on it.

A burst of soft light flickered on the parchment. The next moment, the thin paper was divided into three parts and fell into Qiao Yang's and Xiao Yi's hands, one in each hand. The last one merged into the world. At this point, the contract was completed!

This scene is not unfamiliar to Qiao Yang, because he has experienced it many times before. There are many new captains who want to trade crew members with him, but Xiao Yi is the only one with a legendary crew member.

"Marquis, get the money and hand over personnel."

"As you command, Captain!"

The burly first mate glanced at Xiao Yi with an unkind expression. This guy must be hiding something from the captain, but for some reason, Qiao Yang acted like he didn't know.

Soon, two large boxes were brought over by the entourage. They were filled with gold coins and some broken gems. Those who looked at them couldn't take their eyes away.

The same goes for Xiao Yi, his purpose is for these sparkling little cuties.

If these things were brought back to Blue Star, they would definitely be enough for him to spend the rest of his life without any worries.

He put the items directly into his personal backpack without checking them. Under the restrictions of the contract, the overall value could not be faked.

After looking at the crew members who were being taken away with a little pity, Xiao Yi nodded to Qiao Yang and said:

"Big brother, I'll leave first. I wish you all the best!"

"Well, I also wish you can enjoy the rest of your life smoothly."

Qiao Yang showed an inexplicable smile and said nothing. After the deal was concluded, these crew members belonged to him. Unexpectedly, there were no unknown risk warnings, so it was not easy for him to attack at this time, but the problem Not big, since he has Xiao Yi's face and aura, he can't run away.

In this way, another harmonious crew transaction ended.

After taking a closer look at Shadow Yi, who was in a vegetative state, he could walk, but very slowly, and his perception of the outside world was extremely weak. He could not speak or hear, making him a physically disabled person.

It may be a bit rude to say this, but it is what it is.

Calling up the crew panel, Qiao Yang found the detailed information of this legendary crew member.

——————

This is the most miserable legendary crew member Qiao Yang has ever seen. His life hangs on a thread and is cursed. In this state, a gust of wind may kill him.

Even if he didn't experience it personally, he could feel Xiao Yi's extreme sadness after being overjoyed. Recruiting the legendary crew should have been a great thing, but it turned out to make people want to die. In other words, he might have accepted it. No.

In addition, it can be speculated that he should have attracted the attention of some beings or forces, just like when Qiao Yang recruited Sisonia.

But this guess will take a little time to verify. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be very soon, otherwise Xiao Yi would not be so anxious to leave. His three-gallon boat has the sails fully loaded and is disappearing from sight at a speed visible to the naked eye. .

Ignoring it for the time being, he ordered people to arrange for Shadow Yi to rest and take good care of him. Qiao Yang continued to trade with the next new captain. He was not in a hurry for the follow-up. Anyway, he had done something with the gold coins and gems he gave out. If there is no problem with the crew, then the wealth is real, if there is a problem, then it is fake.

For this kind of questionable transaction, he doesn't mind lowering his moral bottom line a little to protect his own interests. It's unethical, but useful.

As for the constraints of the rules of the Endless Sea, haha, it is easiest for a false camp and a false identity to deal with this kind of contract. To borrow the words of the sages, what does the contract signed by Qiao Yang have to do with him, Qiao?

However, there is one more thing to note. The soul-stealing curse on Shadowdoll cannot be used by all beings. This curse is extremely vicious. Except for the two most essential things, the secondary attributes and talents, the rest will not be affected. Suffering from terrifying suppression, the little life limit left is enough to prove the power of the curse.

From another perspective, if such a curse can be planted on a once legendary strongman, the power of the curser will only be stronger. It seems that he will face another hostile force after going to sea.

Don't worry if you have too many debts, it's a yes if you take the handle in your hand.

Time passes slowly. Qiao Yang's trading speed is very fast. He can basically complete a transaction in half a minute. The number of his crew members is also increasing rapidly. However, he has many ships and a large capacity. He only needs to make a few trips back and forth. Just transport them to the camp in Libos Port. Once the loyalty is passed, they can be arranged in batches in the floating city. At this stage, it still takes time to adjust.

Just when Qiao Yang was immersed in the joy of expanding his staff, a dark purple light flew out from the cabin, and then fell on the back of his hand.

At the same time, relevant prompts sounded in my ears.

"Special reminder: You recruited a special legendary crew member "Shadow". Under unknown influence, you were marked by the "Tower of Shadows". When you enter the endless sea, your position will be marked by the "Tower of Shadows" It is learned that the mark can be automatically transferred half an hour after the crew member disappears. "

"Good, I knew it."

Qiao Yang smacked his lips, frightening the newcomer he was trading with, and asked cautiously:

"Boss, am I dissatisfied with you in any way?"

Those pitiful little eyes stared at Qiao Yang, as if they were about to drop the pearl at any moment.

"Oh, it's none of your business. Just sign the contract. I still have something to deal with."

"Okay, okay, thank you, boss!"

The new captain happily took the contract, put a spiritual mark on it, and left with his share of the money.

"Well, you did a great job. Although it has no effect on me, if it were someone else, wouldn't it be possible for you to kill me? If you round up, it's almost equal to you trying to kill me. Humph, I think you have a way to kill me!"

Qiao Yang directly used Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing to target Xiao Yi, who was escaping. Many people didn't know that this high-level captain skill had an additional small function, that is, people who were planted with space marks could be considered as victims if they could not be solved. In a combat state, there is no way to exit the nascent sea!

Xiao Yi's little idea was actually shattered early on. Qiao Yang just wanted to watch a show. As for what's the benefit of doing this, well, it's just someone's bad taste.

With a snap of his fingers, all the gold coins and gems in Xiao Yi's backpack turned into pieces.

At this moment, he was only thinking about quitting the challenge mission and returning to Blue Star. He had no idea what had happened, nor did he know that his death was coming!

"Tip: You committed an act of tearing up a contract and evaded punishment according to the rules. Your camp has shifted significantly towards the realm of chaos. You have been given the title - Fraudster!"

I wish you all a new year, success in work, success in studies, warding off all evils, and good luck.

Then, I was a little tired from playing New Year’s Eve yesterday and had a lot of fun. I took a break and asked for your approval from all the book friends, hehe (﹃).
