Chapter 182 Catch Them All in One Fell Swoop

Chapter 182 "Catch them all in one sweep"

After scanning around, Qiao Yang asked Tina to go to another mysterious businessman. After confirming the plan and making sufficient preparations, the next action would be much simpler.

When Qiao Yang returned to the Siren Merchant's shop, he gave orders through the voice transmission panel of the fleet.

"Three breaths of time to prepare, no delay."

After speaking, Qiao Yang looked at Del who was preparing the goods, showed a faint smile, and walked forward slowly. The distance between the two had reached a very dangerous zone.

"Oh, my friend, please wait a moment. There are still some more precious things missing. You have to spend time looking for them."

The people on the First Born Island were either Qiao Yang or his subordinates, so Del just glanced back and stopped paying attention. He regarded it as the curiosity of the big customer and concentrated on completing this big business.

"It's okay, don't rush, we have a long time."

Qiao Yang's smile became even weirder, the third breath was coming!

The palm of his hand turned into a knife, and he slashed at the unsuspecting Del with fierce force. Those who didn't know the ferocious power thought it was going to kill him.

"Hmph~"

Del suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground. The tight fish tail also relaxed and collapsed on the ground. A little liquid that was different in color from the sea flowed out from under it. .

"Incontinent?"

The culprit frowned, and then relaxed it quickly. This was good, which meant that he had a good sense of proportion in his attack, and the strength was just right, so that it was not nerve-wracking to be stunned.

Picking up Del, who was in a severe coma, Qiao Yang slowly walked out of the shop. Looking at the other crew members, they were basically the same.

The few who were empty-handed were also in groups of two, and nothing happened during the process. How could a group of businessmen whose upper limit of strength was no more than level four be able to guard against a premeditated surprise attack.

If they regain consciousness, their first words will probably be to yell, "Grandma," a group of strong men with average combat power exceeding that of a legend are here to trick and attack old business comrades like them. Damn it, they don't even have the dignity of a legend at all.

Maybe ordinary legends would take this into consideration, but the crew members under Qiao Yang didn't care about this. As long as they were helpful to the captain, it was just a matter of face, so why not?

Soon, all the businessmen who had been knocked unconscious were gathered together. In order to prevent them from suddenly waking up, everyone was fed an anesthetic specially prepared by Curzon. The dose was so large that even a giant dragon would be stunned. You have to sleep for a whole day and a night.

As for how this conclusion was obtained, I would like to thank Clecio for his selfless dedication.

"All the merchants are here, no one is missing."

Qiao Yang counted the numbers again and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to modify their will, a sound like nothingness sounded not far away.

"Look, look! What I saw? A daring boy who caused such a big trouble. You will definitely be hunted to death by the Merchant Alliance. Even the gods can't save you!"

The sudden sound made everyone feel as if they were facing an enemy. They turned around quickly and saw a phantom-like figure floating in the air, as if they were in another dimension.

Only his upper body was exposed, and his facial features were blurred and could not be seen clearly. Only the parts that seemed to be his eyes shone with a light purple light, making it uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

This scene is very similar to the mother soul maggot that I encountered in Wandering City, but it is different. Attacks from the material plane are probably unable to do anything to him.

"You don't have to think about how to get rid of me. I just want to see how you deal with these guys who are protected by the rules. Please do as you please."

The shadow laughed, but no matter how it sounded, it sounded so malicious.

"Nia, spear."

Qiao Yang's face was expressionless, with a subtle hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.

The nonchalant look seemed to hurt Xuying's heart. He seemed to want to anger Qiao Yang, so he said with extremely harsh words:

"Don't waste your efforts. There is nothing the existence of the material plane can do to me. However, it has become an established fact that you have touched the people of the Merchant Alliance. How about you, do you want to consider signing a contract with me? I will keep it secret for you. And you need to help me with some trivial favors, which are very cost-effective."

Ignoring the shouting shadow, Qiao Yang took the Storm Spear from Sisonia's hand, and the light golden light flickered for a moment.

"Wow wow wow, you don't really want to do something to me, do you? You can give it a try, but after you try it, the price of keeping it secret for you will not be more than this."

Xuying's expression was very proud, as if he had grasped Qiao Yang's hand, which was called unscrupulous.

Suddenly, Phantom, who was thinking about how to make a big deal, felt a bone-chilling sense of crisis emerge from the depths of his soul. He thought that his racial talent could protect him from worries, but now it seems that this is not the case.

How arrogant he was just now, he was now so humble. Layers upon layers of protective measures were applied to his body, but they did not bring him the slightest sense of security. Instead, they made his sense of lethality even stronger.

"Wait, I don't mean any harm, please..."

His last memory was a dazzling golden light, severe pain all over his body, and then he knew nothing.

The Storm Spear turned into a dark red stream of light and penetrated it to the ground. The irresistible power instantly obliterated it, leaving no trace behind.

After seeing the shadow dead without a burial place, Qiao Yang made a move with one hand, and the war spear that had sunk into the base of the island flew back to his hand, and he sneered:

"Ha~ Who gave you the confidence to threaten me?"

This guy is most likely a mysterious businessman, but for some unknown reason, such a huge amount of wealth did not attract him to show up. Instead, he waited until Qiao Yang started the operation and witnessed the whole process, and made an unabashed threat.

It's a pity that he found the wrong person. Maybe someone else could have succeeded, but for Qiao Yang, there are only two types of existences that have intersections. One is a close friend, and the others are mortal enemies.

The phantom that dared to threaten him was naturally the latter. In line with the principle that change comes later, and at the same time to prevent this bitch from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Qiao Yang allowed him to enjoy high-end treatment, and activated one-hit kill to nip the potential threat in the bud. middle.

You know, this is something that even the demigod-level soul maggot mother has not enjoyed, so he should know how to be satisfied.

After Xuying died, several palm-sized dimensional bags fell to the ground. The sea breeze blew by, causing the strings at the mouth of the bags to tremble, and finally calmed down.

Just in case, Qiao Yang took out the Wanhua Mirror, activated the strange object ability, and covered the real world with a reversal space that was twice as big as the Island of Creation.

After the rules were reversed, he found no new hiders. It seemed that there was no other existence except phantoms. However, in this state, some vague world laws actually emerged.

“It’s actually a way to get in touch with the legendary realm and gain unexpected rewards.”

Qiao Yang had only done a simple experiment before, but did not invert the rules so thoroughly. He did not expect that he could directly observe the laws of the world in such a state. This is a priceless treasure for some fourth-order people who are just on the verge of success.

Withdraw the Wanhua Mirror, and the reverse space disappears without a trace.

After glancing at the prompt information, this guy's race is quite interesting.

"Tip: You killed [Void Spirit Merchant] and are extracting the target's soul energy..."

"You gained 3750 killing experience points!"

From the killing experience gained, it can be seen that this extremely rare trader from the Void Spirit Tribe is really not strong, and is probably only around the third level.

I have to admire him for having such little strength to dare to flirt with an unknown being. His survival to this day is purely a matter of luck.

The full name of the Void Spirit Clan is the Void Spirit, but for convenience, they are basically called that.

However, the shadow that Qiao Yang wiped out was quite abnormal. It has never been heard that this clan can walk in the material plane in such a form.

But the world is so big, there are always some unique guys. Maybe he has a genetic mutation and cannot be an assassin, so he comes to do business. This seems to be a reasonable explanation.

Anyway, the shadow is dead, the last witness is dead, and the merchant alliance can't find any trouble with him.

At this time, many businessmen lying on the ground have changed from free persons to prisoners of the Black Candle Fleet. As the owner of the fleet, Qiao Yang can also perform some special operations based on the crew panel.

Open the entry panel, select Del, and set the parameters. With a ding, its loyalty instantly changes from negative to die-hard.

In the real world, numerical changes are no longer cold, and the resulting impact is real. If Del wakes up now, his attitude towards Qiao Yang will not be any different from that of other crew members.

This is an entry that he has never used after unlocking the plug-in. In fact, this entry has neither a cooling time nor special restrictions, and it can be used on the first day he came to the Sea of ​​Birth. He just I don’t want to open this hole, let alone get over the hurdle in my heart.

However, today, many things are imminent, and crises, both near and far, are emerging one after another, and some necessary means are no longer options.

Now he can kill thousands of people without changing his appearance, not to mention just changing the will of an individual. For some purposes, it is just a small sacrifice at the moment, and he is not doing anything to his own people.

Times make heroes, but heroes are often not good people.

He has changed, and Qiao Yang knows this very well.

Compared to the naive person he was back then, he now completely fits the image of a standard villain, and even calling him a villain is considered a compliment.

It didn't take much time to change their loyalty. Soon, with a golden-white light covering them, the businessmen's consciousness began to awaken.

At the same time, Marquis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly knelt down on one knee and said:

"This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me."

"Get up, it has nothing to do with you. I'm really wrong and why are you waiting for you to speak?"

Qiao Yang didn't even bother to look at it. He was very tolerant of his first legendary crew member and his first die-hard loyalist.

What's more, the innate ability of the Void Spirit Tribe is like this. If the Void Shadow hadn't taken the initiative to show up without knowing whether to live or die, there would have been endless troubles.

Although they say they don't care about the Merchant Alliance, this is a real behemoth.

Throughout the endless sea, their shadows can be seen in even the most remote corners, which shows the terrifying influence of the Merchant Alliance.

Five minutes later, the businessmen completely woke up. When they saw Qiao Yang for the first time, they all showed the highest courtesy and shouted in unison:

"The humble servant has seen the eternal master!"

Their eyes followed Qiao Yang's breathing, and they were even more fanatical than the die-hard crew members, even to the point of being sick.

"Get up, the value of your goods is not enough, ask me to make up for it, and then do whatever you need to do. Come back every half a month from now on, and I will give you new orders."

"In addition, sort out the information you have and give it to me. I will give you an extra amount of funds to collect information you don't know for me, as well as fleet promotion orders, unknown items, rare objects, and legendary items. Don’t let go of any of the equipment you find valuable, as long as it is something you think is valuable.”

Qiao Yang's tone did not waver at all. Compared with the formal crew members, his attitude was completely different. In his eyes, these businessmen were just useful tools, nothing more.

"As you command, my lord!"

Businessmen whose loyalty has been modified have no thoughts of their own and can only execute orders. Compared with complete individuals, they are more like machines. But it is precisely because of this that Qiao Yang has no burden at all when using them and is more efficient.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. How much you can gain from them depends entirely on Qiao Yang's decision-making. If a certain decision is wrong, the heavy losses will be light.

After each received the corresponding special currency, the merchants left their dimensional bags and storage boxes behind, and then returned to the trading point, showing their due joy.

The whole process looked like a puppet on strings, and Qiao Yang's shadow appeared in every move. Even the crew couldn't help but feel creepy after watching it.

But so far, we have never seen such a person appear in the fleet. Maybe this is the captain's new "superpower"?

No one can be sure, let’s just look at it this way, at least they are treated very well, this is enough, the captain will never be wrong, always!

"Take your things and prepare to return."

Now that it's over, Qiao Yang ordered to return. Before noon tomorrow, the Black Candle fleet needs to reach the sea boundary. He, the incarnation of disaster, must live up to his name, otherwise he will not be worthy of this title.

"Yes, Captain."

The merchants are really rich. Their dimensional bags are not the smallest three feet, but the largest nine feet. They sell for 10,000 gold coins, which is enough for ordinary people to live for hundreds of years.

There are more expensive storage boxes above, which are mainly used to store large and more precious things. They are expensive but not marketable. Most captains cannot afford to use these boxes, and the maintenance alone may drain their wealth.

…

…

"boom!"

The last storage box was stored in an independent cabin storage, announcing that the trip was complete and a new journey was about to begin.

The merchants presented a variety of goods, including countless rare items. Needless to say, there was no need to mention equipment and other items. Many options were added to the already rich exchange list. It only needed to arrange a few more people, and the Black Candle Fleet It works perfectly, and no extra effort is needed in a short period of time.

Qiao Yang stretched out. There were dozens of merchant tokens in his backpack so that they could find him.

Returning to the captain's cabin, Qiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Today's action was a near miss. He liked brainless guys so much that it was effortless to deal with them.

Take out the special rare item rewarded by the achievement. This is a gold coin that is heavier than ordinary gold coins. It is outlined with fine patterns and reflects dazzling light under the bright light.

As soon as I thought, detailed information appeared in front of me.

——————

"Lucky Gold Coin. Special Rare Item"

Effect: Fortune divination is performed once a day. The results are divided into five levels: good luck, good fortune, a slight feeling, overwhelming bad luck, and five declines of heaven and man. When the result is determined, you will gain a temporary ±5 lucky attribute and have a probability of triggering the corresponding response. An unexpected event of fortune, the temporary change in luck value lasts for twelve hours.

——————

"Misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, what a metaphor."

With a flick of his finger, the lucky gold coin stood firmly on the table, and the next moment, the divination results floated in his ears.

"Tip: You have received a slight blessing of luck, and you have gained 1 temporary lucky point."

Open the attribute panel. An extra point is displayed behind the lucky attribute. Click it to view the source.

"Interesting gadget."

The achievement also rewards a legendary title. He has now discovered some rules about achievements. Basically, high-level achievements have subsequent advanced achievements, and the rewards will be richer.

Although he guessed that there were prerequisite achievements before becoming extremely rich, he threw out millions of special currencies at once, and the rules of the Endless Sea directly judged that the previous possible achievements were skipped. This is why he speculated that this achievement was a series of achievements. Because of the achievement, if it was a parallel achievement, he should have received more than one prompt.

Equip the new title and click on the detailed information.

"As rich as a country. Legendary title"

Description: When a person's wealth can influence a small-scale war, he can be called a rich man. When his wealth can affect the political decision-making, he can be called a huge rich man. When his wealth can influence a party's power, he can be called a great rich. At that time, he would be as rich as the enemy! (Endless Sea reputation +500, luck +1, charm check +3, crew recruitment success rate increased by 30%, no cap, depends on the wealth you have)

————"What is capital? What is wealth? The only word is plunder!"

After reading the description information, Qiao Yang found that the effect of this new title was similar to that of Heroic Lord, except that the latter blessed all targets, while the former only worked on ordinary crew members.

However, the base of increase for a country that is as rich as enemies is really large, and there are additional increases based on one's own wealth value. This is the charm of money. It can make people bend their backs, sour relationships, let ghosts push around, and let grinding push ghosts!

Most relationships in the world are nothing more than profit. Cutting the rice with a knife is for profit, which is essentially harvesting.

From wealthy merchants harvesting common people to gods harvesting believers, they are both harvesting and plundering, but in different ways. Different paths lead to the same end.

Qiao Yang doesn't want to be the one being harvested, he just wants to be the reaper.

To put it more bluntly, predators.

When the lock that has been suppressed for a long time is opened, it can no longer be closed...
