People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country

Chapter 1 Have you heard the story of the Black Pearl?

[Product: Davy Jones’ Heart. 】

[Purchase time: 6 months. 】

After confirming the text that appeared in his vision again, Tang Sen took a deep breath.

"It's not like it's going to be on the shelf for anyone to buy."

He stood up unsteadily, his boots creaking on the wooden boards. The surroundings were damp and dark, with an unpleasant stench.

It was the fishy smell of sea fish, the smell of rotten wood soaked in sea water, and the sour smell emitted by human sweat. It mixed together and went straight to the nose, making Tang Sen's stomach churn.

"The first breath of air from another world doesn't seem very friendly."

Looking around, there are no windows or vents, only a loose wooden door leading to the outside world——

Everything around him was shaking, and Tang Sen could hear the sound of waves crashing through the wall. Without much speculation, Tang Sen had already realized his situation.

He was on a sea ship, to be precise, a medieval wooden sailing ship. Judging from the quality of the wood, the ship was already old.

"Very good. It's closer to my guess."

There was a dirty mirror hanging next to the wooden door. Tang Sen wiped it hard so that his own figure could barely be reflected in it.

He had dirty, greasy black hair, a suit of linen clothes of a suspicious color, and a pure black money bag hanging around his waist.

He looked very embarrassed, but it fit the temperament of the cabin very well. Tang Sen breathed a sigh of relief, but the clothes and hairstyle were different, and the body was still his own. He was originally worried that he would become a strange human race, or simply lose it. Click parts.

"So, this is my only golden finger or purchasing funds in this world, right?"

Tang Sen took off the money bag from his waist, and words appeared on the money bag.

【Endless money bag. 】

[Gift from the world, with it, you will have endless money. 】

[Existence time: 6 months. 】

[Binding Master: Tang Sen. 】

[Cannot be damaged, cannot be lost, and cannot be taken out of this world. 】

Tang Sen tipped the money bag over. The seemingly dry and empty bag suddenly seemed to open a passage to another space. The dazzling gold fell from the mouth of the bag and hit the wooden board with a clanking sound.

It is impossible for anyone to be moved when seeing such a scene. The flashing color of the gold coins is more dazzling than any color in the world.

“Can money buy everything in the world?”

Tang Sen recalled the text he read when he was about to die before traveling through time.

In fact, Tang Sen's life was boring. He just went to school, graduated, and worked step by step, trying to save enough for the down payment of a house before he was thirty years old. Unfortunately, before he could save enough money, his life was ended by a dump truck.

The good news is that his ordinary life has finally been noticed by Goldfinger, and he has been given the opportunity to travel through the heavens.

According to the text, he needs to prove that money can indeed buy anything. If the purchase is successful, he will be rewarded——

Take something away from this world that you have come into contact with.

Tang Sen had no other choice. The dump truck lived up to its reputation. He remembered that he was flying very high, but he could not feel any pain. His spine was probably broken, and there were not many intact bones left in his body. There was probably no chance of rescue. .

At least in this world, he can live for another half year, and even find hope that he can survive after returning to reality.

"Can money buy everything? I'm afraid not."

"There are too many priceless things in the world, not to mention in all the worlds. Even in such a materialistic modern society, money is far from omnipotent."

"At least, it can't bring me back to life."

“However, if you add endless prefixes in front of money, it is not without room for maneuver.”

Tang Sen picked up a gold coin. On the front of the gold coin was a portrait, with a scepter, coat of arms and crown engraved on the back. The surrounding inscriptions had the casting date: 1719.

"It looks like it should be a guinea, the currency in England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries."

Tang Sen's academic performance has not been very good since he was a child, but his knowledge has always been broad. This is due to his unusual thirst for knowledge about the games he has played, the entertainment works he has watched, etc., even if it is You will also find out details that others don't pay attention to.

England's monetary system before and after the Age of Discovery was unique, and it was naturally within the scope of Townsend's coverage.

England's monetary system was not decimal until 1971. The well-known pound-shilling-pence conversion method was that one pound was equivalent to twenty shillings, and one shilling was equivalent to twelve pence.

The currency at this time was real precious metals, and its purchasing power was naturally not weak. The price of a hundred kilograms of wheat was only sixty pence, and the price of a large piece of bread that could feed the whole family for a whole day was only three-quarters of a penny.

Townsend read a document. In this era, the annual income of an ordinary maid was only 120 pence, which was barely enough to satisfy her hunger. The annual income of craftsmen such as blacksmiths and carpenters was only a few pounds. The annual income of the middle class, such as senior lawyers and military officers, was The annual income is about two to three hundred pounds, which is enough to buy a townhouse in a big city, hire a few servants, and live a decent life. As for the top class, Townsend remembers that the apparent annual income of a certain earl is Nine thousand pounds is an astronomical figure in this era.

As for the gold guinea coin in Tang Sen's hand, it was worth twenty-one shillings each. With this gold coin, it was enough to hire two young maids for more than a year.

This is the first time that Tang Sen has such a large amount of money. The small pile of gold coins piled in front of Tang Sen, converted into modern coins, has completely exceeded the money Tang Sen has earned in half his life.

What's more, if he wanted to, he could fill the entire cabin with gold coins.

"I can be considered a powerful person now."

Tang Sen picked up the gold coins one by one and put them into a small black purse.

It is natural to be happy to have a lot of money, but now I am almost a dead person. If I can't find a way to continue my life in this world, no matter how much money I have, it is meaningless.

What's more, being rich is not necessarily a good thing. If this is really the world I speculated, with my sub-healthy little arms and legs, I have no power to protect myself. If I am not careful, I will not use it. If you think about what happens after returning to reality, you will die in this world.

"Anyway, your life is at stake, let's figure out the current situation first."

With this thought, the sound of creaking footsteps suddenly came, getting closer and closer. Tang Sen's expression became stern and he quickly calmed down his expression.

The footsteps stopped through the door, and a rough voice sounded:

"We will arrive at Port Royal soon. We need to unload the goods for purchase. Do you want to get off the ship here or continue to take the ship?"

"There are probably a lot of people boarding the ship in Port Royal, but we don't have the benefit of a single room, but the price is naturally cheaper. It only costs two shillings to get to the next island."

The person who came spoke English with a heavy accent, but Tang Sen found that he could hear it smoothly.

"The other party knows my existence. It seems that I did not appear in this world out of thin air. The being who brought me here is quite considerate. The problem of language communication seems to be solved. Moreover, there is a starting identity for me to integrate into this world. The world won’t be too obtrusive.”

Although this identity currently does not seem to be of any help in completing product purchases.

"But Port Royal?" Tang Sen's heart moved, and he spoke in fluent English as well: "I will disembark here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened. Outside was a sailor in his prime, with dark skin, also wearing dirty cloth, with a shaved head and muscular arms.

"Then prepare to wait on the deck quickly, don't delay us moving the goods."

The tone was a bit worse than before, naturally because he made less money. Tang Sen didn't care, smiled, and walked out the door.

The cabin is directly connected to the outside, and there are several small rooms on both sides. The front is filled with goods tied with oilcloth and ropes. There are already many sailors moving the goods. Tang Sen follows the sailors and goes up the stairs of the cabin. It is wet. A strong sea breeze blew in my face, and most of the stench that had been lingering in my nose finally dissipated.

Tang Sen took a deep breath and looked around. The sea was so blue that it was unreal. Above the sea, various sailboats floated. Farther away, a lush island stood, and the castle and city walls on the island could be seen.

Everything is really busy, and in Tang Sen's eyes, this is more shocking than the graphics of any game he has ever played.

Only then did he truly feel that he was no longer in the steel forest, but in another world. It once only existed in illusory images, but now, he was in it.

As the ship slowly approached, three mummies could be seen hanging on the rocks near the pier, with a sign hanging on them - "Pirates will not end well."

The sailor next to him spat and shouted: "Damn pirates."

Tang Sen came over and said, "Pirate?"

The sailor looked Tang Sen up and down, "Are you the one who took the boat? You don't look like someone who makes a living at sea. What are you doing in Port Royal?"

"Go to relatives." Tang Sen smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen a pirate. Even though it was just a corpse."

"Tsk." The sailor said, "You should be lucky that it's a corpse."

He leaned closer: "You must have heard a lot of rumors about pirates, but trust me, it's best not to believe them."

"Those stories of treasure and adventure are lies."

"If you encounter live pirates, they will just steal every penny you have, then cut your neck open and throw it into the sea to feed the sharks."

Townsend did not pick up the topic of the sailor who was trying to scare him, and just said perfunctorily: "I have indeed heard a lot of rumors about pirates."

He changed the subject and said:

"Have you heard the story of the Black Pearl?"
