Chapter 3 003. Wise consumption
After searching for a while on the deck, Jialan went straight to the cockpit and expressed her intention to the captain.
"Captain Philip, I heard that this merchant ship is loaded with goods. I want to purchase some supplies for me and my servants before arriving at Sunless Island."
After finishing speaking, Jialan stared closely at Captain Fili. Fili was not surprised by the sudden appearance of four servants around him, and his expression remained calm.
This at least shows that the characters summoned by the system will not arouse suspicion from others.
"The Provence travels between the two major territories of the Amethyst Family and the Red Coral Family. It has all kinds of goods, provided you have enough gold shells."
Feili smiled confidently, handed the rudder to the first mate, and led Jialan to the warehouse below the deck.
"Do you have a spell book?" Jialan scanned the goods and said calmly.
"Of course, but that stuff isn't cheap."
As he spoke, he opened a box, which contained various professional knowledge and skill books.
"Here, the spell books are all here. Which ones do you need?"
Feili looked at the young boy playfully and couldn't help but suggest:
"The biggest danger on Sunless Island is not the monsters, but the criminals who are still alive. They will do anything to survive. It is better to buy weapons directly than to buy knowledge.
Arm your four followers, I trust they will keep you safe better than this knowledge can."
"Thanks for the reminder, I think I know what to do."
Jialan smiled back and picked out three favorite spell books, namely "Acid Splash", "Trace Healing", "Ice Touch", and an entry-level "Magician Training Manual".
"How much?"
"20, 10, 20, 15, a total of sixty-five gold shells."
"Give."
Feili took the money bag and was a little surprised by Jialan's wealth.
Although they are widely circulated zero-level spells on the market and are not very expensive, they are just magical knowledge recorded in books after all, and it is not easy to transform them into actual abilities.
"What else do you need?"
The smooth Fili unconsciously used honorifics. After all, for businessmen, customers are God.
"See behind me, they are very strong."
"Yes, just like four brown bears." Fili shrugged, he was shaken by his belief that the other party would not survive three days.
"Using the best stuff you have here, I need to arm them into warriors who can overcome obstacles. Can I do it?"
"Don't worry! I'll take care of everything!" Feili smiled and nodded.
With rich experience, Captain Philly made reasonable equipment arrangements for the four followers.
McCann and Mag were equipped with shields and one-handed axes, and wore thick iron-inlaid leather armor on their upper bodies. Due to the scarcity of metal resources, even just inlaying iron sheets on key parts would more than double the price of the leather armor.
Maishi is equipped with a two-handed sword and light leather armor, taking the warrior route.
McQueen is equipped with a hornwood bow, a quiver on his back, and leather armor to assist in the attack as a long-range archer.
Regardless of whether they know how to use weapons, their appearance alone is enough to scare timid coveters.
The outfit cost a full 20 gold shells, plus the 65 gold shells used to buy the spell book. Jialan's purse was suddenly depleted, leaving only a pitiful 30 gold shells.

The data in the upper right corner of the system interface changes in real time.
Captain Phil also wanted to continue selling some wilderness survival equipment and food, but Galan refused.
He didn't forget that there were ten sets of unopened basic supply packs in his backpack, and he didn't need these low-end adventure supplies at all.
"Okay, Captain Philly, we're settled, but I hope you can stop by Sunless Island to have a look when you return in a month's time."
"Why?" Fili closed the warehouse tightly, puzzled.
"Oh!"
A light look appeared on Jialan's face.
"People say how dangerous and terrifying the Sunless Island is, but who knows the rich resources on the island? As an undeveloped land, don't you want to be the first to get a share of the pie?"
"But I don't think you can survive until that time." Captain Philip still maintained his original attitude. At most, he thought that the other party would only survive for a few more days.
"Is this important?" Jialan asked.
Captain Philip was slightly startled, "Isn't it important?"
"You are a businessman. You only need to be responsible for the profits. With just a little delay, you may make huge profits. Isn't this deal a good deal?"
Feili was convinced by Jialan's words.
"Okay! I will stop by to see you when we return. I hope what greets me then is not a pile of bones."
"Ha ha!"
The two shook hands happily and reached an agreement.
As the planner and developer of the game "Lord Continent", Jia Lan knows very well how to develop and expand the territory. It is necessary to win over Captain Philip because the Merchant Ship Provence is currently the only channel for the Sunless Island to connect to the outside world.
Once this trading line is lost, Sunless Island will become an isolated island for a long time in the future and miss opportunities for development.
After taking care of the captain, Calan led the four McCann brothers out of the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship. Instead of going back to his room, he searched for familiar faces on the deck based on the memories in his mind.
"etc!"
Jialan pulled over a boat passenger, whose slightly rough behavior made him dissatisfied. But when he saw four fully armed burly men standing behind the young boy, his attitude immediately changed 180°.
"Hey! Dear noble young master, why did you ask me to stop?"
"There is a bald man, half a head taller than me, with thin and sunken cheeks. Have you ever seen him?"
"without…"
Just as the boatman was about to deny it, McCann rushed forward behind him, lifted him up from the ground with one hand, and pressed the cold ax blade against his cheek.
"Think carefully before answering, otherwise my followers may accidentally chop off your head and throw it into the sea to feed the fish."
Jialan put her hands in her pockets and admired the horrified expression on the other person's face.
"Let me think about it... let me think about it... Oh, by the way! There was a man who talked to me for an excuse in the morning, and he was also bald! Maybe it was him!"
"Where."
"I don't know! I only saw him walking towards the stern of the boat! I really don't know, sir! Let me go! My wife who is terminally ill at home is still waiting for me to go back, sir!"
Plop.
As soon as the man landed, he ran away and disappeared in a flash.
Fortunately, the area at the stern of the ship was not large, and there were not many places to hide people. After a while, Jialan found the person she was looking for in a utility room. To be precise, it was a corpse.
The reason for looking for him is very simple. I learned from my memory that the original owner of the body died of severe abdominal pain after drinking a glass of water, and the person who brought the glass of water was his good friend Richard.
Before setting off, Richard insisted on getting on the boat to see him off, but he didn't realize that he had ulterior motives.
Now that he is dead, it is obvious that there is still someone behind the scenes. Jialan doesn't know who it is, but he knows that the ultimate mastermind must be his brother Rommel.
"Search the body and then throw the body into the sea to feed the fish."
"yes!"
The four McCann brothers quickly stripped the body naked and threw it into the sea. The blood-drained body did not even make waves.
The most regrettable thing is that Richard's valuable belongings have long been plundered, not even a copper shell is left.
"Damn it! That man must still be on the ship! Find him for me!"
Tolerance is not his style, and he is not a gentleman if he refuses to retaliate. Since the other party bribed his friends to poison him and harm him, there is no need for him to hide it and vow to take down this poisonous snake in the dark.
Of course, in addition to revenge, there is another very important factor. He is in urgent need of a magic shell recharge newcomer gift package.
