Chapter 320: Arms Smuggling

The Dirty Hands and the Dark Gold Cult of Exile Port fought each other at the party, and were finally killed by the orcs of the Broken Hand Clan who suddenly appeared. Almost no one from the two gangs survived.

Almost all the prominent figures in the two gangs were invited to the party. Their deaths suddenly made the two gangs leaderless and fell into chaos.

Mayor Gazlowe took this opportunity to order the arrest of the remaining gang members. The goblin guards launched an operation in the streets and alleys of Exile Port overnight to catch the remaining members of the two gangs.

Yang Yi drank a lot of wine at the party, and he returned to the Ratchet II docked at the dock to rest. The fighting sounds of the goblin guards chasing the gang members did not stop all night, which really disturbed people's sleep.

The next morning, Yang Yi woke up and came to the side of the ship to blow the sea breeze to sober himself up.

Standing on the side of the ship, you can see a newly built street in front of the dock, with rows of shops arranged in an orderly manner, but no merchants have yet moved in.

This street is the Pier Commercial Street, and it was also the fuse for the fight between the two gangs last night.

Now no gang dares to show up on the Pier Commercial Street. The goblin guards patrol back and forth, and they have completely taken over the street.

Gazlowe promoted the shops on the commercial street to Yang Yi last night, and Yang Yi remembered that he decided to buy a shop on the spot.

"Gazlowe said that the shop is on the eastern side of the Pier Commercial Street. According to him, the shop is the largest and the cheapest on the whole street. In short, it is very cost-effective. If you don't buy it, you will lose money."

Yang Yi felt very strange at the time. How could this good thing that fell from the sky fall on his head?

After getting off the boat, Yang Yi walked along the Pier Commercial Street to the east. He wanted to see what the shop he bought looked like.

Just after walking a short distance, Yang Yi heard the honking of a car horn behind him.

Yang Yi didn't even need to look back. The one who honked the car horn must be Lu Xiaoming.

"Brother Poseidon, where are you going? I'll give you a ride." Lu Xiaoming shouted.

It was not in Yang Yi's character not to take the car, so he got in the car without saying a word.

"Last night, the two major gangs were destroyed, and you dared to drive a sports car here to show off. Aren't you afraid that the goblin guards will free up their hands and arrest your gang?" Yang Yi said.

"Hehe, Brother Poseidon, you don't know that our Qin Kun Club is different from criminal gangs like the Dirty Hands and the Dark Gold Cult. The Qin Kun Club is a civilized and polite gang. We have a gang license issued by Mayor Gazlowe himself." Lu Xiaoming said proudly.

"There is such a thing as a gang license?" Yang Yi was shocked.

"Not only gang licenses, I heard there are also pirate licenses. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy anything in the Hot Sand Group." Lu Xiaoming said, "Of course, sometimes in addition to having money, it is better to cooperate a little."

Lu Xiaoming gave a "you know" expression.

"I see." Yang Yi understood immediately.

In a commercial port like Exile Port where all kinds of people come together, gangs will never become extinct. After the Dirty Hands and the Dark Gold Cult of Exile Port are eliminated, new gangs will replace them soon.

It seems that Gazlowe intends to support his own gangs to prevent other gangs from becoming uncontrollable like the Dirty Hands and the Dark Gold Cult after they become bigger, and Lu Xiaoming's Qin Kun Club is one of the supported targets.

This practice is not uncommon in the Hot Sand Group. For example, the rich goblin in Booty Bay controls the famous Blackwater Pirates.

As the two chatted, the goblin modified sports car roared past on the commercial street of the pier and quickly came to the end of the street on the east side.

At the end, there is a two-story wooden house shop facing the sea, and the location looks good.

The location is good, but the fishy smell in the air is really unpleasant.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Lu Xiaoming felt that the taste in his mouth had become fishy, ​​so he leaned out of the sports car and spit several times in a row.

"Brother Poseidon, your shop is next to the slaughterhouse, it's really smelly." Lu Xiaoming frowned and said.

Yang Yi jumped off the sports car and observed it.

Not far from the coast is a row of slaughterhouses. The sea fish and sea beasts caught by fishing boats going out to sea in Exile Port are first sent to the slaughterhouse to be cut into pieces of meat that are convenient for sale. This is a fishy and smelly livelihood. Over the years, a layer of greasy residue floats on the water surface of the coast, and even the waves can't wash away the blood on the reef.

"It's true that there is no such thing as a free lunch. There is no good thing at a low price. No wonder this shop can't be sold." Yang Yi thought.

"Brother Poseidon, what are you going to do with this shop? It's so smelly here, it won't work to open any shop." Lu Xiaoming said, covering his nose.

Yang Yi thought about it. The living environment of the fishmen is usually not very good. The fishy smell is barely acceptable to the fishmen. It's just that such an environment is too unfriendly to customers. It's really as Lu Xiaoming said that it's not easy to open any store.

However, this difficulty did not bother Yang Yi. He looked at the piles of sea fish and sea beasts in front of the slaughterhouse and the busy slaughter workers, and immediately had an idea.

"I will open a slaughterhouse, so I won't be afraid of the stench coming from the front." Yang Yi said.

"You are worthy of being a fishman who is the mayor. I'm afraid that ordinary fishmen can't think of such a solution." Lu Xiaoming said sarcastically.

After Yang Yi looked at the store, he quickly got in the car and left, because Lu Xiaoming couldn't stand the stench here and was about to vomit.

Next, Lu Xiaoming offered to help find the murlocs in Ratchet Town. He drove a goblin-modified sports car and took Yang Yi through the streets of Exile Port.

When Yang Yi saw how attentive Lu Xiaoming was, he knew that he must be thinking something. But Lu Xiaoming didn't say it, so Yang Yi didn't ask. He sat in the sports car and looked for Benbol Ba and the others everywhere.

After searching for a whole day, Yang Yi couldn't find Benbol Ba in Exile Port.

Because Benbol Ba had already left Exile Port.

The dock manager followed the instructions of Mayor Gazlowe and looked for the boarding records of the past few days. Finally, it was discovered that the two murlocs had bought tickets to Steam Sand Port and had boarded the ship before Yang Yi arrived.

Yang Yi then remembered why the two murlocs were performing on the streets of Exile Port. It turned out that they were doing it to raise money to buy tickets.

Yang Yi got the news that Benbol Ba was going to Steam Sand Port, and immediately asked Ratchet II to set sail and prepare to chase him to Steam Sand Port.

Lu Xiaoming was also retired after his success. He then said to Yang Yi: "Brother Poseidon, I have a big business here. I wonder if you want to do it."

"Tell me about it. Maybe I'm interested." Yang Yi said.

Lu Xiaoming drove a sports car to accompany him to search for a whole day. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. Yang Yi was still very grateful to him.

Lu Xiaoming asked mysteriously: "Brother Poseidon, do you know what is the most profitable thing in Exile Port now?"

"What is the most profitable thing?" Yang Yi followed Lu Xiaoming's words and asked.

"Smuggling arms and banned drugs." Lu Xiaoming said in a low voice, afraid that others would hear it. "These two big pieces of fat meat were previously taken by the Dirty Hands Gang and the Dark Gold Cult. Now they are down, leaving a vacancy."

Yang Yi thought about it. As the two major gangs in Exile Port, the Dirty Hands Gang and the Dark Gold Cult naturally control the most profitable business. Lu Xiaoming was right about this.

But how to fill the vacancies left by these two gangs?

"What do you want to do?" Yang Yi asked Lu Xiaoming.

"It will be difficult for the Dirty Hands and the Dark Gold Cult to stir up trouble in Exile Port. Now our Qin Kun Club is the largest gang in Exile Port, and we have the permission of Mayor Gazlowe. It can be said that we have the best time, place and people. Smuggling arms and making potions are so profitable, but unfortunately we don't have a source of goods." Lu Xiaoming said.

"But I don't have a source of goods either, so it's useless even if I'm interested." Yang Yi said.

"No, you do. It should be said that Ratchet Town has it." Lu Xiaoming said, "Ratchet Town can develop engineering. Guns, bullets and explosives are all engineering products. When the time comes, Ratchet Town will produce arms, and we will sell them. We will share the profits."

Good guy, Lu Xiaoming actually planned it out, and it sounds like it's a bit reliable.

"Are you sure you can do what you said?" Yang Yi asked.

"Uh, uh..." Lu Xiaoming scratched his head, "Actually, I'm not sure either. These are all told to me by my subordinate Mouse."

Yang Yi clapped his hands hard when he heard it.

What the dog-headed military strategist Haozi said must be more reliable than Lu Xiaoming.

"Okay, let's do it." Yang Yi made the decision.

"Brother Poseidon agreed?" Lu Xiaoming was overjoyed, "Wow, that's great."

"Don't be too happy too early. There are only a few junior fishman engineers in Ratchet Town now. It's not certain what it will develop into in the future." Yang Yi said.

"Brother Poseidon, don't worry, Ratchet Town will definitely work. Haozi said that the fishmen are dexterous and will definitely be able to become engineers soon. With the low IQ of the fishmen, it is difficult to train an expert-level engineer, but it is still easy to train a hundred ordinary engineers." Lu Xiaoming said.

"You don't have to say the part about the IQ of the fishmen." Yang Yi said.

"Yes." Lu Xiaoming nodded.

"Aren't potions as profitable as arms? Why don't we do it together?" Yang Yi asked.

"Because Mouse said that making potions requires a magic profession, and the low IQ of the murlocs..." Lu Xiaoming realized that something was wrong halfway through his speech, and quickly covered his mouth.

If you can't speak, don't speak, Yang Yi was depressed.

Yang Yi was actually very concerned about Lu Xiaoming's proposal. He also hoped that Ratchet Town could vigorously develop engineering, so he spent money to hire two goblins and a dwarf engineering technician. It's just that Ratchet Town lacked trade routes before, and if it manufactured engineering products on a large scale, it didn't know who to sell them to. Now that Ratchet Town has obtained the trade license of Exile Port, and there is Lu Xiaoming as a line, it can boldly engage in engineering in the future.

As for making potions, Mouse may be right. The magic profession of the murlocs is indeed rare. But Yang Yi didn't plan to give up. The buildings in Ratchet Town have system special effects, and the efficiency of cultivating magic professions is not comparable to that of ordinary murloc clans.

Yang Yi and Lu Xiaoming quickly negotiated the details of the cooperation, and then Ratchet No. 2 sailed away from Exile Port.
