Wait a minute! Li Yuan suddenly woke up.
The treasure map did show the location of the island, but there was only a big red cross on the map. It did not indicate the location of the treasure chest!
This meant that when they arrived at that place, they would have to conduct a carpet search…but the island was now silent in the sea, and a carpet search was too difficult.
No wonder Jin Wei was so generous to show them the treasure map. He had a trick up his sleeve.
Li Yuan planned to observe further.
Avril had been pretending to look at the treasure map for a while. It would be inconvenient to continue looking at it, so she stood up and returned the treasure map to Jin Wei.
"By the way, Boss Jin, aren't you afraid that I'll remember the location of the treasure if you show me the treasure map?”Avril was actually thinking about this question. As expected of Li Yuan's acting captain.
"Hahaha, Captain Avril must be joking. Treasure maps are usually divided into two parts. This only records the approximate location of the treasure. To find the exact location of the treasure, you have to look at my treasure log. It even recorded the traps around the treasure. I believe it.”
Avril and Li Yuan were both amazed by Jin Wei's cunning.
"How about this, let's discuss it first. After all, I just changed boats and don't have much money on me. 30 pearls is a bit expensive.”Avril shook her head.
Jin Wei's smile was a little awkward, but he still said generously," No problem. However, Captain Avril, if you want to buy it, you have to do it as soon as possible. Don't let someone else buy it."”
"Alright."
After saying that, Avril and the others returned to their own quiet corners.
Since everyone was at the mission point, Avril went to the bow and sat down.
Avril and Li Yuan said at the same time.
"We'll buy that picture!"
"Captain, I think only an idiot would buy that treasure map.”
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Li Yuan had just said that he wanted to buy it, but Avril said that only an idiot would buy it, as if it was tailor-made.
" Ahem, Captain, I'm not talking about you…" Avril rubbed her nose and said awkwardly.
"..." Li Yuan was speechless.
"Captain, are you sure you want to buy it?”Rui and the others also walked over. Only Little White was chasing and playing with Little Butt. Rui and the others sat side by side beside Avril, and everyone leaned against the bow of the ship." Captain, there are indeed no islands around the trading market. I used to fish with Ah Min and Ah Shan, but I really didn't see any islands."”
"Yes, Captain. Even if you really find the location, it's hard to say if the treasure is still there.”
"Captain, we only have 29 pearls, we can't afford it.”
The crew members all agreed.
Li Yuan deliberated for a while. He could find the location, but what A Rui said was right. Whether there was treasure or not was another matter.
Or was it a free whoring? However, without the treasure log, the seabed was still too dangerous. Moreover, the terrain was complicated and it was difficult to search thoroughly. In addition, there were traps. It was too dangerous.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan didn't make a decision. He asked," Rui, how much is this treasure worth?”
"It's hard to say, but most of these low-level treasures are left behind by small forces or individuals. Their value usually doesn't exceed 500 pearls. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of someone being particularly lucky.”Rui said.
"500 pearls…Even if I don't have 500 pearls, 200 will do. I'll bet 30 pearls on 200 pearls…Hiss ~"
This feeling was similar to stone gambling.
" We don't have anything to spend money on now…"
Before Li Yuan could finish his sentence, the crew member immediately retorted.
"Why not? Captain, you don't know how expensive rice is. I also wanted to tell you to buy a boiler. If we're going on a long-term voyage, we can't keep eating dried fish.”Avril said immediately.
" Now we're using the pedal thrusters, but Dad's legs are not good. Maybe he can't use the thrusters. I just happened to see a wooden power arm being sold again..." Ah Min said.
A Rui added," The ship has always been lacking some essential living supplies. It's almost winter, so we might need to buy some quilts.”
Li Yuan suddenly felt a headache. It seemed that there were quite a lot of things he needed to spend money on.
After thinking for a while, Li Yuan suddenly thought of a question." Since we're so poor, why don't we take a gamble when there's such a good opportunity?”
Li Yuan looked at the crew." If we lose, we have nothing to say about that. We can continue to move bricks and prepare these supplies before winter. But if we win, all these problems can be solved!”
"But Captain, are you sure you can find the treasure?”Ah Shan asked with a frown.
"I'm sure I can find the treasure!" Li Yuan said with certainty," Actually, I've already found it! However, I need the treasure log to find the treasure's equipment and know the situation of the traps.”
"What?! Captain, you, you've found it?”Everyone turned around in shock and looked at the deck.
"What else? Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
Their attitudes changed immediately." Hey, Captain, why didn't you say so earlier! We just didn't want you to spend money recklessly. The things we wanted to buy didn't cost many pearls.”
Li Yuan let out a long sigh." I think you're all itching for a beating. Do you want to stay in the sea for a few days?”
Avril and the other women shrunk their necks and stuck out their tongues.
Li Yuan didn't have time to care about them. He muttered to himself," It's just that we're still short of a pearl…Sigh, I shouldn't have let you buy food in the first place!”
"No, no, no, Captain, don't be so heartless.”Avril immediately fawned over Li Yuan.
A Rui thought for a moment and said," Captain, based on my experience, the price of this treasure map should not exceed 20 pearls. Jin Wei must have secretly increased the price by quite a bit. Let's leave him hanging for now. When no one buys it for a few days, he will naturally lower the price.”
"Rui, are you sure?" Li Yuan asked.
"I'm sure. None of the ships here have the ability to explore the seabed. Don't worry, we definitely won't be able to sell them! Captain, if you're worried, I'll keep an eye on him for the next few days.”
……………………
Two days later, Jin Wei was still selling the sea map. Unfortunately, people were only paying attention to other missions.
At this moment, Li Yuan leisurely rowed over.
Upon seeing Avril and the others, Jin Wei immediately perked up." Captain Avril, you're here. How about it? Are you interested in that treasure map?"”
Avril looked at the transportation quest beside her and said casually," Oh, after some discussion, we decided that it's impossible to find it, and the price is so high, so we're not buying it. Boss Jin, are there any good transportation missions today?”
Jin Wei was obviously disappointed, but he didn't want to give up.
"Captain Avril, um, can I come to your ship? I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? Is there a good mission?" Avril was confused.
"Um…this is a mission, and also a mission.”
Not long after, Jin Wei left the guys who were looking at quests and ran to Avril's boat." Let's talk in the cabin."”Jin Wei said mysteriously.
All of this didn't escape Li Yuan's eyes. Based on his many years of shopping experience, with the brains of Arie and Avril, Boss Jin would probably be skinned alive if they entered the cabin...
" That's too cruel…" Li Yuan couldn't help but sympathize with Jin Wei.
