Chapter 18 Rogge Town
...
East China Sea
Log Town
There are still a few days before the public execution of Pirate King Roger, but at this time, the flow of people in Roger Town can be clearly felt to have increased. The streets are bustling with people and various hawking sounds can be heard one after another.
Gel took Bia to take a walk around the area and see if there was a suitable hotel to stay in. Fate and Weeble remained on the boat because Gel had a whole boat of gold treasures that needed someone to look after.
Thinking of this, Gel couldn't help but complain about why his system didn't even have the most basic space storage function. This was too inconvenient.
Ger scratched his head:
"It seems that we can only hope to get the Mirror Fruit, the Book-Book Fruit or the Door-Door Fruit."
"Captain, what is the Mon-mon Fruit? Is it expensive?"
At such a young age, Bi Ya didn't know that there was nothing that such a wealthy captain couldn't buy.
"Well, a pretty awesome devil fruit. You know devil fruits, right?"
Seeing Bia's curious eyes, Captain Gel could only continue to give her scientific education while walking.
"Devil Fruit is a kind of fruit with special patterns on it. After eating it, the eater can gain certain super powers, but the side effect is that they can no longer swim and become landlubbers. The power of the devil fruit is very strong. If used well, it can destroy the world!"
"Wow! That sounds awesome, Captain! I want to eat a devil fruit too!"
"Okay, okay! The captain will find you a powerful devil fruit later!"
...
The two walked and came to a busy square. Gel looked around. This scene was somewhat familiar, as was the high platform that had been built. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the square where the Pirate King would be executed.
"I'm selling oranges. Fresh oranges just picked from the tree. Only 50 Baileys per pound."
A little girl of 7-8 years old was selling oranges on the street with a bamboo basket full of them. Her clothes had several patches on them but they were washed very cleanly.
"Oops! I'm sorry!"
The girl was accidentally knocked down by a bald man at the corner.
The little girl fell to the ground and the oranges in the basket rolled all over the ground. She hurriedly got up from the ground, ignoring that her knee was scraped and bleeding. She apologized and ran hurriedly to pick up the oranges scattered on the ground.
She was afraid that the oranges would fall and break, or be stepped on by passers-by or picked up by thieves. She cared more about her oranges than her own body.
If these oranges are gone or cannot be sold, she will have no money to buy bread, and she and her disabled mother will have to go hungry again tonight.
Fortunately, passers-by nearby avoided the oranges on the ground with a look of disgust, for fear of stepping on them and dirtying their shoes.
The little girl bent down and picked up another orange. She took a look and found that this orange was not broken and could be sold after washing. So she happily put it back into the bamboo basket and ran to pick up the next one.
Just as she was about to pick up the orange in front of her.
"Pfft!"
The orange was stepped on and the orange juice just splashed on her clean clothes.
This dress is her most important thing. It was sewed and mended by her mother and washed clean for her every day.
They were afraid that if she ran outside with torn and dirty clothes, she might be mistaken for a beggar and beaten to death if she wasn't careful. After all, one or two poor beggars died accidentally in some dark corners in this city every day, and this seemed normal to everyone.
"Hey! Little brat, you hurt me! Tell me what to do!"
The sturdy man stomped on the orange that the girl was about to pick up and said viciously.
"sorry Sorry!"
The little girl was instantly panicked. She looked up and saw the ferocious face of the 2.8-meter-tall man. She was so scared that she started to cry, saying sorry over and over again while crying.
Many passers-by around looked down on the big man for bullying a little girl in the street, but when they saw his muscular body, they could only choose to remain silent.
Ge Er also saw the whole process, shook his head helplessly and said to Bi Ya:
"Wait for me here for a while. The captain will buy you some oranges."
After saying this, Gel strode away.
?
Bi Ya was a little confused.
I didn’t think I said I wanted to eat oranges?
I'm not the main character, and I don't want to meddle in other people's business, but why do I always encounter these bad people and bad things that I have to take care of? Is it because this world is so bad that I encounter these things wherever I go?
The more Gel thought about it, the more upset he became. He walked over and patted the sturdy man on the shoulder.
"What are you doing! Can't you see I'm angry? Don't be such a jerk...!"
Feeling someone patting his shoulder, the burly man turned around cursing, and the black muzzle of the gun just hit his charming dimple.
"Hey, you're such an eyesore, I just can't stand you. Do you want to go away? Or do you want to be shot?"
Gel's tone was filled with impatience and disgust.
The strong draw their swords against the stronger, and the weak draw their swords against the weaker.
It is obvious that this bald guy is not a tough guy, as he can do something like intimidating a 7-year-old girl in the street.
Next second
As expected, the bald strong man who only bullies the weak and fears the strong immediately admitted his weakness, put on a good boy look, and greeted with a smile:
"Brother, please don't be impulsive. I am ignorant and I am in your eyesore! I will leave! I will leave immediately!"
"Get lost! If I see you bullying others again, I will shoot you to death!"
"Understood! Understood!"
After the bald man finished speaking, he disappeared.
It's worthy of being Rogue Town. The gangsters are much smarter now. None of them would insist on being stubborn and talk about how superior they are.
The little girl picked an unbroken orange from the basket, and wiped it on her clothes for fear that Gel would find it dirty. Then she stretched out her hand and handed it to Gel, saying timidly.
"Thank you, big brother. I'll treat you to an orange."
Asshole, why are you so sensible at such a young age? It’s so sensible that it makes me feel sad.
Gel took the orange, ate it while leading the little girl away from the crowd. When they were alone, he took out a large stack of Baileys and stuffed them into the girl's hands, saying:
"I bought all these oranges. You don't need to pay for them. You can go home early."
The little girl looked at the stack of 1000-dollar bills in her hand and wanted to return the money to Ger in panic. She kept shaking her head and said that he couldn't take the money because she had clearly said she would treat her big brother to oranges.
"Hide the money so that the bad guys don't see it. If you don't obey and take the money home, I will beat you up!"
Finally, after being frightened by Ger, the little girl said thank you gratefully and ran home, looking back every three steps.
Only then did Geer go back to find Bia with a basket of oranges.
【Ding! 】
[Complete the task: Complete the transaction using Bailey for the first time! Open the mall system! ]
[System loading...65%]
【System loading completed】
When Geer opened the system, he saw a wide variety of goods, including food, drinks, daily necessities and toys, just like opening an e-commerce online shopping page.
No way? No way?
Have I never used money to buy anything since I traveled through time?
Ger was a little bit unbelievable.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that there really isn't one.
Gel slapped himself hard in the face.
Why did I shoot the news bird in the first place?
Can't you just use the money to buy a newspaper and open the system mall in advance? Why do you have to sit on the island with a pile of gold and treasures and grill meat without even salt!
"Damn it, dog system, do you know how I've been living these past two years?"
Geer randomly ordered a bag of toffee priced at 99 Baileys, with a cute white rabbit printed on the package.
[Ding, insufficient balance, payment failed, please recharge! ]
Gel grabbed a stack of Bailey's mind to recharge!
【Recharge 100,000 Baileys successfully! 】
The balance is also displayed on the interface: 10 Baileys
I ordered again to buy toffee.
[Purchase successful, the item has been placed in the storage space! ]
As the system notification appeared, Gel could immediately sense the existence of the storage space.
There was only one cubic meter of space, and at this moment it was empty with only a bag of candy. As soon as Gel thought about it, the candy appeared in his hand. He picked up an orange, and as soon as he thought about it, the orange in his hand disappeared and appeared in the storage space.
"Hahaha! The storage space is finally here!"
Biya pulled Geer's hand worriedly and asked:
"Captain, are you okay? Why are you in a daze and then giggling? You even slapped yourself. Don't scare me!"
Gel gently pinched the girl's pouty face and said with a smile:
"Yes, but it's a good thing. Your captain is going to get rich. You guys can follow me and enjoy the good life! Hahahaha! Let's go back to the ship first. I have something important to do!"
As he said this, he stuffed a big bag of candy in Bi Ya's hand and hurriedly pulled the little girl towards the port.
"Wow, Captain, where did you buy this candy? I've never eaten such delicious candy!"
As expected, children can't resist sweets. Biya ate one sweet after another along the way without giving her mouth a rest.
Back on the boat, Bia took out White Rabbit candy to share with Weeble and Uncle Fate, while Gel hid in the cabin and started spending money like crazy!
[Ding! Recharge of one million Baileys successfully! ]
[Ding! Recharge of one million Baileys successfully! ]
[Ding! Recharge of 100 million Baileys successfully! ]
[Ding! Recharge of 100 million Baileys successfully! ]
...
...
Gel looked at the last few banknotes in his hand. All the Baileys had been recharged. The balance was 5 million. He picked up another gold brick and recharged it with his mind!
[Ding! Recharge of 1 million Baileys successfully! ]
"Gold can also be recharged directly, and the price is also good. That Sky Island Golden Country! Isn't it hehehe!"
Gel wanted to fly over to the sky island immediately to collect gold.
...
It took me a long time to finally clean up all the treasures in the cabin, and I looked at the long string of numbers behind the balance: 24 billion.
After counting the digits several times and confirming that they were correct, Gel laughed like a sow.
Open the system mall!
"System, do you have an intelligent assistant or some kind of elf? You are not intelligent at all, which really makes you look cheap."
【Ding! 】
An item automatically popped up in the system mall: Recommended for you based on big data: [System AI Assistant] Price: 1 million Baileys.
"It really exists! It costs 1 million Baileys! That's really a steal."
System...No response
Gel felt that just so that he could hear a response when he cursed the system in the future, he had to pay the money!
Confirm your purchase now!
[Ding, AI assistant purchased successfully, loading...80%]
[Installation successful, please (name) set the wake-up password! ]
"son!"
[Setup successful! 】
"Son, son."
【I am here】
Ge immediately felt happy both physically and mentally, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Can the storage space be increased?"
[Ding! Storage space: limited to storing inanimate objects, current capacity is 1 cubic meter, activation price: 1 million Baileys/cubic meter]
Gel exclaimed in his heart, wow, now everything has a price tag, there is no emotion involved, only money transactions, is this the beginning of a new path to become stronger by spending money?
"Open 10 cubic meters of storage space."
[Payment successful, storage space opened successfully! Current total capacity: 11 cubic meters]
"Son, do you have any devil fruits for sale?"
[Ding, no]
As expected, there wouldn't be such an obvious bug. I thought I could buy a bunch of devil fruits and decompose their strength in one go, and directly overthrow the sky. It seems that I was overthinking.
Gel was not disappointed. He looked at the other items and found that they were very comprehensive, with everything from food, drinks, clothing, daily necessities to military weapons.
Fortunately, the military weapons are all in line with the settings of this world, including guns, ammunition, famous swords and the like. There are no horrifying things like airplanes, aircraft carriers, and nuclear missiles.
The overall prices are relatively cheap. Some individual items are divided into several grades, and the highest grade is much more expensive. It is not excessive to charge a luxury tax for the top grade.
There are also many things sold very cheaply, such as food and books, especially books. There are all kinds of books from all walks of life, ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, and the uniform price is 100 Baileys per book.
"The most precious thing is sold at the cheapest price!"
Ger couldn't help but sneer.
