“All you sailors, bring those items onto the ship for me!”
The pirates began to issue orders, exploiting Luo Feng’s crew as their workforce.
“We need a break, we can’t continue like this!”
The crew members implored.
“Give them a rest. You guys can manage this yourselves, the load isn’t that heavy!” Luo Feng interjected, observing their plight.
“Alright then, we’ll handle it ourselves.”
Seeing Luo Feng’s acquiescence, they decided not to make the situation tougher for the crew.
Lin Yueting turned to Luo Feng and asked, “Are we just going to let them take everything?”
“What other choice do we have?” Luo Feng shrugged helplessly.
Lin Yueting fell silent. She felt the pirates were demanding too much, taking treasures worth over a hundred million just like that.
After approximately ten minutes, some of the treasure had already been loaded onto their speedboat.
One of the pirates declared, “Luo Feng, we appreciate your cooperation. You’re the most generous tycoon I’ve ever met!”
Luo Feng merely responded with a smile, choosing to remain silent.
The pirate broke into a hearty laugh, clapped Luo Feng on the shoulder, and told his comrades, “You all keep an eye on them here, I’m heading off first, but I’ll be back soon!”
Afterwards, he jumped into the speedboat and departed.
“Damn it, they’re really pushing us around!” “Stand your ground, don’t be so submissive!”
“Do you really want our host to die?”
“This money is nothing to the host, it’s better to buy peace than court disaster!”
“Damn, these pirates are so brazen, I really want to teach them a lesson!”
“Well, you can only fantasize. How can you do anything while sitting at home in front of your phone or computer?”
Luo Feng wasn’t defenseless, he was just pondering whether to retaliate. The money was a secondary issue, but the pirates’ behavior was profoundly irritating. Their way of conducting business was thoroughly displeasing.
Luo Feng looked at the pirates lounging on the ground and asked, “How long have you all been pirates?”
“Seven years!” A pirate responded.
“Is piracy a profitable profession?” Luo Feng questioned.
“Absolutely! Being a pirate is far more profitable than holding a regular job!” The pirate retorted with a hint of pride, “I make hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions, quite easily each year! Sometimes, if I’m fortunate, that figure is in US dollars!”
Luo Feng was taken aback, “So you guys do make a lot!”
He then continued, “There are only five of you. Even if each of you makes a million, that’s just five million a year, right? On the whole, that’s not much. It just appears a lot when divided among the five of you.”
Hearing this, a pirate grew indignant, “Five people? We’re not just five people. Can a group of five be called pirates?”
The other three pirates laughed, “We’re genuine pirates. We belong to a pirate ship. Our crew comprises forty to fifty people!”
Luo Feng gave an awkvvard smile, he hadn’t anticipated such a large number.
But his intention was to determine their numbers, why else would he ask?
At that moment, Luo Feng started to formulate a plan.
“Activate a level 15 scan!”
Luo Feng was secretly thrilled. If there were treasure markers present, he could determine whether the three ships sent by the pirates were nearing him.
However, at that point, a pirate approached him, pulled out a gold coin made of pure gold, and handed it to Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, this is from our captain. You must accept it.”
“What is this?”
Luo Feng was genuinely intrigued. Were these people being courteous? Did they actually have a gift for him?
The pirate chuckled and declared arrogantly, “It’s a pirate gold coin. You can consider it an amulet, a pass, that allows you to traverse the seas. The next time you pass this place, just display this coin, and you can pass safely. If you encounter other pirates, you can show them this coin, and they will let you
pass!”
So, it’s a receipt, right?
Robbed once, can’t be robbed a second time within a certain period.
Even among themselves, they can’t rob a second time.
Luo Feng understood, they were nurturing these people. If they frightened everyone away, making them too scared to pass through here, chose to avoid business, and refused to cross this area, then their livelihood would be in jeopardy.
On the other hand, if they encountered pirates who weren’t too harsh and allowed people to make a living, people would still dare to traverse this area.
“Then, please extend my thanks to your captain!” Luo Feng continued to smile.
“I’m astounded!”
“I’m not astounded, I’m amused!”
“Is there really such a thing as a pass?”
“Is it made of pure gold?”
“Does it matter whether it’s pure gold or not? How much gold can a billion
However, ten minutes later, the three ships they had dispatched arrived.
They began to load the goods.
“Boss, should we leave?”
The crew seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
“No, let’s rest here for a day,” Luo Feng said in an unchanging tone.
