Farming in Pirate World

();

(); After all, Mark didn't leave directly. He and Li Ming each ordered a glass of ordinary ale, found a corner of the tavern, and sat down peacefully.

There was a carnival going on in the tavern, and everyone was immersed in their own world, turning a blind eye to the rich man Li Ming.

Just pay, and once the atmosphere builds up, who cares what you do.

"Mr. Li Ming, since this is the case, if you have anything to do, please just tell me."

When things came to a close, Mark felt a bit like a broken pot.

"I haven't figured out what your purpose is. This wine doesn't taste pleasant."

"Then what does Brother Mark think my purpose is?"

Mark took a thoughtful sip of ale, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I really can't imagine why a little guy like me would be cared about by a big shot like you."

"It won't be the case anyway. You think yesterday's 20 was a bit of a loss."

"Of course not. It's just 20 Baileys. It doesn't reflect our friendship at all."

Li Ming waved his hand, stretched out two fingers and shook it:

"I think the value of our friendship will be at least ten times greater."

Mark's breathing was stagnant and his face turned a little red, but he quickly recovered.

With yesterday's experience, Mark also learned a lesson and will not be easily dazzled by Li Ming's "local specialties".

"Two hundred...I can't afford this price. You can go to the mayor..."

Before Mark could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Ming waving his hand.

"It's ten times every month!"

"After all, our friendship is everlasting."

"what do you want......"

Mark's heartbeat accelerated, his face turned red, and he looked at Li Ming's fingers, his breathing obviously uncontrollable and heavy.

Faced with temptation, he gave in...

"I want your support!"

"I don't have any ambitions. For now, I just hope that the Dawn Chamber of Commerce can gain a foothold in Rogge Town."

Having said this, Li Ming drank the ale in the cup in one gulp and took a long breath of relief.

"I'm just a little police officer. There's nothing I can do about what you want..."

"You are no small police officer!"

"It is really miserable for the indigenous residents of Rogge Town who, after 20 years of police service, were assigned to guard the port."

"If you understand, then you should know even more clearly that I am definitely not a suitable partner."

"Of course you are not the most suitable now, but that doesn't mean you will still be unsuitable in the future."

"Businessmen must use their own judgment to use current money to seek future benefits!"

"I regard 500 million Baileys as an investment. You can prove yourself in any way. As long as you can go further, we can cooperate."

"You're a smart guy, and I like dealing with smart people."

Mark stared at the five fingers stretched out by Li Ming, his expression changed one after another, and his thoughts kept changing in his mind.

"Done!"

Mark's expression changed for a long time, and he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

Li Ming also had a gratified smile on his face, stretched out his palm and gave Mark a firm shake.

"wish you success!"

......

After Mark left, Li Ming also returned to the dilapidated hut that he had not had time to renovate.

This is a small private house that originally existed in the area that Li Ming bought, but it is basically a dilapidated house made of piles of scrap wood, with air leakage from all sides.

However, Li Ming used the [Barrier] skill to reinforce a circle on the scrap wood, so there was no need to worry about when this dangerous house would collapse.

Those who think Li Ming is a fat sheep can hardly imagine that the place where he lives is so simple.

However, there was no way. When he purchased this piece of land, Li Ming paid 4000 million beli in one go, and the remaining 8000 million was considered arrears.

The battle at the sea restaurant cost 4000 million beli, and the final return was about 500 million, most of which was bounty from pirates, which was barely 500 million beli.

When he left, he took 7000 million beli with him and made 500 million. He spent 4000 million to buy the land and still had 500 million beli left.

It seems like a lot of money, but in Rogge Town it’s completely free of charge!

After all, Li Ming didn’t come here for shopping, but to build a base!

In this world, land is not valuable, but buying supplies in Rogge Town is very expensive!

Manpower, material resources, and eventually financial resources will all be consumed. Food and accommodation for nearly [-] people every day is a huge financial burden.

As a rough estimate, if you really want to complete the blueprint you have in mind, the cost may be... no, at least tens of billions or more.

You really need to save some money on this.

In comparison, the investment spent on Mark is really nothing.

Why choose Mark?This is the result of Li Ming's careful consideration.

The fact that there are ordinary police officers in a place like the port is a magical thing in itself.

Is it true that everyone in the navy is just doing nothing?

Wake up, the navy stationed here is [White Hunter Smoker]!

In this world, the navy is the mainstream combat force. In places where the navy is stationed, the police are not even considered security guards, but can only be regarded as informants.

The policemen on duty at the port, working in the shadow of the navy, especially the shadow of Smoker, will never achieve the slightest success, and there is absolutely no hope of promotion.

An old man like Mark, who is close to middle age, is obviously a veteran policeman, but he was eventually sent to a place like this. If there was nothing fishy, ​​Li Ming would have doubted whether he was living in a society governed by the rule of law.

In an abnormal world like One Piece, if there is no trick, it is the biggest trick.

But even so, the first official person Li Ming met after landing was still Mark, and his reaction was much faster than that of the navy.

This at least proves:

One: Mark is still ambitious and wants to achieve success.

Two: Mark is confident in his own strength.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Li Ming also took the time to ask a lot about Mark and learned a lot of information, including that Mark was a native of Rogge Town.

Being local means having connections!

In today's conversation, there was also a hint of wanting to examine Mark.

The final conclusion is that Mark is a smart man who is somewhat cautious.

This is enough!

Ambitious, powerful, marginalized, smart.

Li Ming doesn't need to know what Mark has experienced at all, and who is Mark's opponent?He just needs to be supportive!

Of course, those core officials in Rogge Town, including the mayor, should still maintain good relationships.

However, these officials were too deeply involved with the forces that had been entrenched in Rogge Town for a long time. Li Ming's financial resources alone could not make them defect in battle.

Even if it were possible, the financial resources needed to make them defect in front of the battle are something Li Ming cannot afford today.

The power of [King Overlord's Qi] is not that powerful.

I want to lick the dog, but I just can’t do it.

Since the old officials can't lick them, then lick the new officials!

Li Ming chose Mark, who was the most attractive.

It’s done, a huge profit!If you lose, Li Ming can afford to lose!
