Chapter 102 Green's way of making money

In order to avoid the area where the fallen fishman's nest is located, the merchant ship had to change its route.

This is not something worth paying attention to. Navigating in the Curse Sea area is a very common behavior. Although it will cost more time to sail, it is better to be safe. As long as you don’t act desperately and run to the “forbidden zone”, you basically don’t have to worry about encountering other dangers in this sea area.

Compared to changing the route, the appearance of the oriental man is more concerned.

Inside the captain's room, the fat captain stood next to the table where the charts were placed, discussing the situation of the oriental man with the first mate.

First mate: "I've asked the sailors, and they all said that no debris of the ship were found nearby."

The fat captain played with the jade pendant in his hand: "That's strange. If there were no ships nearby, where did the foreigner pop up from?"

A sailor pushed open the door of the captain's room: "Captain, that mage is here."

Green: "Captain, is there anything you have to do with me?"

Green walked into the room, and Mitchell also helped Shaqiya walk in.

"Oh, Green, I'm glad you can come over." The fat captain glanced at the two girls following Green. "Thanks to you this time. If you hadn't happened to catch a fishman, maybe we would have plunged into the nest of the fallen fishman like that foreigner."

"It's just good luck. And with the strength of the hull of the 'Blue Gold Coin', you can escape even if you plunge in."

"But one thing we care about is that the crew did not find any wreckage of ships in the nearby waters. Judging from the ocean currents, this is obviously abnormal."

"Hmm...and what?"

"Do you know where the victim came from? It's not that I'm boasting. I've been to many places, but I haven't heard of the language he uses at all."

Of course Green knew, but Green would not tell the other party: "I didn't ask, after all, body language can only let the other party understand what I mean at most, and there are very limitations." As a player, Green is very clear about how to lie without lying, and is very skillful in misleading language.

"Body language?" The fat captain's heart moved slightly, "The 'body language' before didn't seem to be magic, right?"

"It's not magic, it's just a common skill."

"Oh? Skill?" The fat captain seemed very interested in it, "So can I learn it too?"

"Of course, anyone can learn it. What? Do you want to learn it?"

"Can you teach me?" The fat captain seemed to be looking forward to it.

Green stretched out a finger: "I will try my best to teach ten gold coins in an hour, but whether you can learn it depends on your ability."

"Hiss" the fat captain couldn't help but take a breath, "This is a robbery! The cargo in my ship is only a few dozen gold coins at most, and there is not much left after putting aside the profit and salary..." The fat captain began to cry poorly.

Nonsense! The robbery is much slower than this. Green complained in his heart.

Knowledge is the least valuable thing in the world and is also the most valuable thing. In the game, players can only obtain skills from NPCs and cannot impart skills. Therefore, players are often deceived by the high skills learning costs in the game.

"The value of a language-reading scroll with only ten minutes is a gold coin, and the price of a tongue-reading scroll is as high as one hundred gold coins! For those who are willing to trade oceans or even foreign trade, the use of language-reading and tongue-reading is self-evident." Gree began to carry out ideological work on the fat captain. "Although the effect of body language is not as good as tongue-reading, it is not inferior to that of language-reading. It can also be used at the same time as a language-reading, so as to achieve an effect similar to tongue-reading. If you can learn this skill, then you will get a permanent and constant weakened version of language-reading magic equipment. The price of magic equipment for spells is constant. I think you should be very clear. More importantly, you can teach it to others after you learn this skill!"

Fat Captain: "But what if I didn't learn this skill?"

"If I didn't learn it, do you think my teacher would return the money to me?" Green said for granted. "You can continue to spend money to class. As long as you are not a fool with only 9 intelligence, you can learn this skill in theory."

The fat captain couldn't help but take out a towel and wipe the sweat from his head: "...It turns out that it's easy for a mage to make money."

“Because knowledge is priceless.”

The fat captain lowered his head and thought for a while: "How much time did you take to learn this body language?"

"Two classes, two hours each. But in fact, I have learned it in one class. Because the tuition fee I paid will not be refunded, I have to finish two classes." Green couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories.

After Green paid the tuition in the game, he learned that body language was actually a skill that was already available on Earth. The full tutorial on body language can be downloaded for free on the game forum. When he learned the news, Green was almost so depressed that he vomited blood!

Shaking his head and leaving this matter behind, Green began to fool the merchant in front of him: "If you are willing to pay an additional 1,000 gold coins for my hush money, I can promise not to teach anyone this skill within a year. Then you can take the opportunity to sell this skill to other merchants and obtain funds in this way. With your connections, let alone just ten gold coins, even one thousand or ten thousand gold coins can be collected quickly."

"Wait, wait, let me think about it carefully." The expression on the fat captain's face seemed a little lost.

"Ah, no problem. We'll have to stay on the boat for a while anyway."

"Let's go back to the point." The fat captain took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Do you have any opinions about that foreign man?"

Green: "Well... I care more about some things. Can you please observe the jade pendant he gave you before?"

"Jade Pendant?" The fat captain took out the jade pendant, "Is the jade pendant the name of this gem?"

Hearing the fat captain's words, Green realized that he had used a "noun" that was not available in the local area.

Because language ability is obtained through the system, it is impossible to distinguish which nouns are not found in local language habits, Green occasionally uses some words that seem strange to the locals or are not even present when speaking. As a specialty of the Eastern Continent, Jade Pendant is not available at all, so naturally the term "jade Pendant" will not exist.

"Do you know where that gem of this kind comes from?" the fat captain asked Green.

Although I accidentally let it go, Green was not willing to answer this kind of question, so Green found an excuse: "The content involves some taboos, and I can't answer it."

"That's how..." The fat businessman was a little disappointed.

"Can you show me that jade pendant?" Green pointed to the jade pendant in the fat businessman's hand.

"Yes." The fat businessman handed over the jade pendant.
