This is survival, why don't you put it aside for health preservation?

Seeing this, Li Tian suddenly realized, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"I'm going, it turns out that there has been this hidden restriction before!"

"I asked why, even though the rules state that the trading hall will connect all sea areas, our daily sales are only tens of thousands of expanded pumice!"

After marveling, Li Tian hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the trading floor since the beginning of summer, so he looked at Xiaojin again and asked.

"Xiao Jin, how is our sales at present?"

"Returning to the master, since the beginning of summer, our sales have been increasing. At present, it is conservatively estimated that we can earn an average of 30 pumice stones a day, and the merchant balance is 50."

heard.

Li Tian nodded.

For this result, Li Tian was not particularly surprised, even Li Tian felt that it was still missing!

The trading hall and the merchant mall together only earned less than 100 million yuan of expanded pumice, which is definitely not much for a trading platform with a user base of over one billion.

This also means that whether it is a trading floor or a merchant mall, the competition is quite large.

Seeing that Li Tian made several 10 yuan a day to expand the pumice stone, and still looked sullen, Li Erbiao couldn't help being curious.

He asked: "What's the matter, brother, don't you look very happy?"

"It's okay, but there is really nothing to be happy about." Li Tian shrugged and replied lightly.

Li Erbiao asked: "Oh? Isn't it fun to earn 80 a day? Brother, your appetite is too big."

"The market is so big, we only earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, which means there are many competitors."

"Moreover, now that the trading restrictions are lifted, the gap between the rich and the poor will only widen infinitely. If we don't work hard, we may be left behind at some point."

Upon hearing this, Li Erbiao also twitched his chin, "Speaking of it this way, it seems to make sense."

"What are you going to do?"

But Li Erbiao had just finished asking this question when the walkie-talkie that Li Erbiao carried with him suddenly rang.

"Brother Biao, the people assigned to [Tiangong Oil Exploitation Base No. 1] have received news that they have encountered a group of suspicious fleets and are heading towards [Tiangong Oil Exploitation Base No. 1]."

"Okay, got it."

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Li Erbiao looked at Li Tian again and smiled wryly.

"A few days ago, I received a report from my subordinates that there were ships constantly cruising near our [Tiangong Oil Exploration Base No. 1], as if they were looking for something."

"It seems that those people have figured out the number of people in [Tiangong Oil Exploration Base No. 1], so they can't sit still."

heard.

Li Tian's eyes turned cold, revealing an intriguing smile.

He snorted softly and said, "Hmph, it's still the same sentence, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others, if people offend me, I will kill them."

"Let's go, it seems that we can harvest another batch of spoils."

Say it.

Li Tian and Li Erbiao drove the armored chariot straight to the military island.

Immediately, Li Tian and Li Erbiao took the members of the military team with them, stepped directly into the portal, and arrived at [Tiangong Oil Exploration Base No. 1].

one look.

I saw directly in front of [Tiangong·Oil Exploitation Base No. 1], there was a group of densely packed small wooden boats sailing towards me with great fanfare, as if there was no intention of hiding at all.

After scanning around, Li Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Looking at the scale, this should be the guy with the second largest sea area, right?"

"Well, the latest ranking shows that the largest island in our sea area has an area of ​​59 square meters, so it should be them." Li Erbiao nodded and responded.

"59 square meters? This guy is developing so fast. Hu Li's second island was only more than [-] square meters before, right?"

"However, with an island area of ​​59 square meters, wouldn't it be possible to receive 59 pieces of expanded pumice just by dismantling their island?"

"It's not easy to grow to such a large size. Unfortunately, luck is not very good. I didn't want to talk to them, but they took the initiative to provoke us."

"In the language of eating chicken, does this count as sending "express delivery"?"

After saying that, Li Tian stopped writing, and looked at Li Erbiao, "Brother Biao, let the members of the military team practice close combat this time, there is no need to use bows and arrows."

"Look at their weapons, they are still at the stage of axes. Even if they are close to us, there is no threat to us. Let's catch them alive."

Li Tian's purpose for doing this is also very simple.

First, Li Tianzhen doesn't want to fight with them because they are both from Yanxia.

Maybe these minions who fought in the front line couldn't help themselves. After all, the soldiers followed the wrong handsome man, and the handsome man was the culprit in essence.

Second, the development of the island in the future will only require more and more manpower. Now that there are people who are delivered to your door, don't let them go for nothing.

heard.

Li Erbiao also understood Li Tian's intentions, and nodded: "Okay, but if you capture these people, should you keep them or sell them?"

After what Li Erbiao said, Li Tian paused for a moment before realizing it.

Yes.

Prisoners of war can also be sold!

There are many things about buying and selling prisoners of war in history.

This way, you can maximize your profits.

Prisoners of war with a high upper limit of talent are collected for their own use, and those with a lower limit of talent are a waste of food, so it is better to sell it to other survivors.

Therefore, Li Tian also replied: "Brother Biao, you reminded me, but whether this group of people stay or sell depends on whether they can live up to their expectations."

between words.

The fleet was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the group of people was about to land.

Li Tian also looked back at the members of the military team behind him, and reminded: "For a while, you should try to keep alive, but you still have to build on the premise of your own safety. If the other party is really not afraid of death and wants to risk their lives, you There's no need to show mercy."

Regarding the safety of the members of the military team, Li Tian is still at ease.

Li Tian glanced roughly at the people on the fleet, and they were generally ordinary people or C-class.

And the lowest level of members of his military team has reached level B, so it should be easy for this group of soldiers and crab generals.

Not to mention that there are people like Ba Wenshi, Wang Qiang, Hu Hongfeng and others who have already reached A-level or even S-level!

There is one more chapter, so stay tuned.

169. So It Was a Pirate

maritime.

headed on a small wooden boat.

Seeing that so many people suddenly appeared on that small island.

One of the rowers couldn't help asking: "Captain, this doesn't match the information!"

"Didn't it mean that there are only three people on this island? Why are there so many people suddenly appearing? Should we return?"

But the middle-aged man who was called the captain sucked his phlegm in disdain after hearing this.

"Damn! Look at your ugly face, what a coward, don't mention that I brought it out in the future, and shrink back when encountering such a thing?"

"What's the matter with so many people? We also have too many people, so we're afraid of a chicken feather!"

But that guy said unconvinced: "But the other party doesn't seem to be a good person! Our boss taught us to bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"Not bad, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, aren't we just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

"Our power is now the second largest in this sea area! We are not afraid of anyone except Tiangong!"

"Look at that island. From our island, it's not as big as a grain of booger. Could this be Tiangong?"

"Since it's not Tiangong, what do we have to be afraid of?"

After what the team leader said, the minion seemed to be enlightened, "Hey! Yes! Anyway, it's not Tiangong, no matter how many people there are, the power is not as big as ours, so what are we afraid of!"

After saying that, his hand holding the paddle moved faster again...

After a few minutes.

The enemy army has arrived on the battlefield.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides rose instantly.

this moment.

There is no so-called idiot dialogue like in the TV series.

Just in the blink of an eye.

The leading enemy army shouted: "Kill Kiki!"

Followed by.

The thieves on the boat swarmed down, like dead men, extremely heroic, waving their axes and attacking Li Tian.

However, in Li Tian's eyes, the actions of these people were like snails, and they lost their interest in fighting in an instant.

"Brother Biao, these guys, I think our two silly dogs can solve them, so let's stop joining in the fun and let the members of the military team practice their skills."

"Well, good." Li Erbiao nodded, and walked towards the back of the crowd with Li Tian.

The next fight.

No accidents.

Even in a 1v2 situation, members of their own military group can successfully subdue each other.

However, during the battle, I have to say that there were a few ruthless ones, who were really desperate.

Helpless, the members of the military team had no choice but to send them back to the west.

As for the remaining hundred or so people, they were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands and shivering.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Tian walked forward with his hands in his pockets, looked at one of them, and asked, "How many people are there on your island?"

"I...I...I don't know! I'm just a thug, and I have no right to meddle in the internal affairs of the island!" The man who was stopped by Li Tian seemed to be afraid that Li Tian would kill someone, trembling with fright, and got down. In a moment, a puddle of yellowish liquid overflowed from the trouser legs.

see.

Li Tian curled his lips in disgust. No matter how talented he is, he doesn't like this kind of coward. At this time, he has already labeled him a "captive".

So, Li Tian looked at this group of people again, and asked: "Among you, who is the most powerful or the most powerful?"

This group of people is also aware of current affairs. When Li Tian asked, one of them quickly raised his hand, "I, you can ask me anything you want to know, and I can answer it, but don't hurt others. It's all involuntary!"

"When death is imminent, you still care about other people's safety? You are a bit responsible as a leader." Li Tian smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "Okay, as long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for others."

After some questioning, Li Tian was shocked by the result!

Unexpectedly, that island is actually the lair of pirates!

And these people were all forced to join the pirate organization in order to survive. Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them volunteered to join.

Among them, Li Tian naturally also has doubts, because according to rumors, all pirates live on board, so why do they still have lairs?

After asking, Li Tian also understood the history of the pirates' fortune.

Generally speaking, the pirates consisted of three people in the early days, and they did burn, kill and plunder at sea all the time in the beginning.

But as the team grew stronger, the pirate leader was unwilling to be just a pirate, so he occupied the island of one of the survivors, and then slowly expanded to this day.

Of course, even with the island base, they have not changed in essence, and they are still doing some unconscionable things.

However, compared to the random looting before, they have become purposeful now.

First of all, the pirate gangs will arrange some bottom-level members to search for targets at sea every day and night.

After discovering the target, report it to the superior, and then the superior will arrange a large force to go directly to capture the target island.

Then--

Naturally, all the supplies on the target island belonged to the pirates.

The people on the target island were either captured or killed, depending on the mood of the pirate leader that day.
