Deceiving the Navy
"Although the price is slightly higher, this skill is indeed very practical, isn't it?”" What's more," Lawton asked with a smile," After a long period of training and getting used to this skill, the damage to the body will be able to be maintained within an acceptable range." Moreover, the usage of this skill varies from person to person. If it was an ordinary person, even if they opened all eight doors, they might not be able to have much strength. However, if it was Lieutenant General Karp who used it, even if White Beard came, he would probably be kicked to death by you, right?”
"Hahaha…that's true, but even so, this skill isn't worth 100 million Bailey, right?”
Karp was still conflicted about the price. Eight Gates was indeed a good skill. If he were to face a strong enemy that he could not contend against one day, he would definitely have a chance to turn the tables. However, to Karp, there was basically no one in the world who could make him open the eight gates.
Even so, if he could integrate the concept of Eight Gates into his body technique, it would also be able to increase his strength by quite a bit.
Hence, Karp definitely wanted to buy this skill, but the price…
"Under normal circumstances, this Eight Gates is indeed not worth 100 million Bailey.”
Lawton did not deny Karp's words. This was the truth. The system's suggested price for the Eight Gates was 20 million Bailey.
But before Karp could show his joy, Lawton's next words made him feel distressed again." But you have to understand that this Eight Gates is probably the most powerful skill book in the world, and it might even be the last one. If this skill book can't be bought by Lieutenant General Karp, then I can't guarantee that it won't end up in the hands of pirates…If one day, a general of the navy is suddenly killed by a pirate while fighting, then you can't blame me…"
"You…"
Karp was helpless against Lawton's blatant extortion. It wasn't impossible for such a situation to happen. In fact, it was very likely to happen.
This was because Karp couldn't guarantee that Lawton wouldn't recommend this skill book to every great pirate one day. If Lawton were to promote this skill book to the Four Emperors, then the situation he mentioned might happen. Especially that lunatic Kaido. His undying body was already difficult enough. If he were to learn Eight Gates…
With the undying body and Eight Gates, coupled with his destructive personality…Karp didn't know who else in the world could stop Kaido.
"Is it really not cheaper?"
Karp really wanted this skill. Even if he didn't cultivate it himself, he could still nurture a powerful expert for the navy. After all, as an explosive skill, Eight Gates was really strong. Even if he didn't open the eighth death gate, he could at least display the strength of an elite lieutenant general within the time it took to open the first seven gates. He could even touch the edge of a general. With 100 million Bailey, he could add a quasi-general to the navy. This was a very cost-effective deal.
There were only three admirals in the navy, and their main role was to intimidate others. The lieutenant general was the backbone of the navy, and they were the main support of the navy in conquering the world. The cost of training each lieutenant general was far more than 100 million Bailey. Therefore, if he could exchange 100 million Bailey for a lieutenant general, it would be a guaranteed profit.
Not to mention that Lawton had threatened him to sell it to pirates if he did not buy it...
Based on Lawton's words, no matter how unwilling Karp was, he would definitely buy this skill.
"I really can't be cheap."
" I'm already close to the cost price," Lawton said sincerely." Any cheaper and I'll lose money."”
"But what if I don't have money?" Karp acted shamelessly.
"Then there's no other way."
Lawton rolled his eyes, snatched the skill book, and put it back on the stall. If you didn't have money, you should have said so earlier. You were wasting my time.
Ignoring Karp, he called out to the other marines."Everyone, did you see Mr. Colonel's performance just now? As long as you have 100,000 Bailey, you can get what you want the most…Do you want to try?”
Although the navy was a high-paying profession, it was not very likely for them to take out millions of Bailey in one go. Therefore, the lottery was their best choice, especially when Bogart had won a good knife in one draw. It was simply the biggest advertisement.
Speaking of Bogart, this guy's luck was really strong. One had to know that Lawton did not help him cheat in the lottery draw just now (with the system around, he could not cheat either). Even so, he was still able to draw a shallow hit. He had to admit that he was really lucky.
"I'll do it, I'll do it…"
As expected, with Bogart as an example, the navy could not wait any longer. If it were not for Karp who kept dragging Lawton to discuss business, they would have squeezed in and started the lottery.
Now that Lawton had abandoned Karp and started to call them, everyone immediately rushed forward. Each of them waved a large amount of cash in their hands, intending to try their luck.
This situation made Lawton so happy that he could not open his eyes."No problem. Please line up and come one by one. Don't worry, there are still many prizes.”
"I'll go first. Give me three darts first.”
A corporal squeezed to the first seat and impatiently took out 300,000 Bailey in exchange for three darts.
"Take it, good luck." Lawton handed over three darts with a smile and a mouthful of blessings.
"Gululu!"
The wheel began to spin rapidly.
Just as the corporal was about to throw it away, he suddenly thought of a question."By the way, Boss? Can I throw three darts at the same time?”
"This…"
Lawton hesitated. He threw all the darts at once, and the chances of winning were obviously higher than if he threw them one by one.
"System, can I?" Lawton couldn't make up his mind and asked the system.
"You can set the lottery rules yourself.”To Lawton's surprise, the system actually let him make his own decision.
"Of course not."
After thinking for a moment, Lawton still gave an affirmative answer because he realized why he had worked so hard to set up a stall. It wasn't to earn money, but to become stronger. According to the system's rules, he would only have a chance to draw once every ten people who won the prize. Therefore, to him, the more people who won the prize, the better. The more people won the prize, the more chances he had of drawing the prize. This was proportional, so he didn't have to feel bad about the prize being taken away.
