People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 1 Have you heard the story of the Black Pearl?
[Commodity: Davy Jones' heart. 】

[Purchase time: 6 months. 】

Once again confirming the words that appeared in the field of vision, Tang Sen sighed deeply.

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

He stood up unsteadily, his boots creaking on the wooden planks, the surrounding was damp and dark, with an unpleasant stench.

It was the fishy smell of sea fish, the smell of rotting wood soaked in seawater, and the sour smell of human sweat mixed together, rushing straight into the nasal cavity, making Tang Sen's stomach churn faintly.

"The first breath of air in a different 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 was shaking, and Tang Sen could hear the sound of waves crashing through the wall. It was almost unnecessary to speculate that Tang Sen was already aware of his situation.

I am on a sea ship, to be precise, it is a medieval wooden sailing ship. Judging by the color of the wood, this ship has been around for a long time.

"Very good, it's closer to the guess in my heart."

There was a dirty mirror hanging beside the wooden door. Tang Sen wiped it vigorously, so that his own figure could barely be reflected on it.

Dirty, greasy black hair, a linen suit of suspicious color, and a pure black slap money bag hanging from his waist.

It looks very embarrassed, but it fits the temperament of the cabin. Tang Sen heaved a sigh of relief, but the dress and hairstyle are different, and the body is still his own. He was worried about becoming a strange race, or simply missing it. Click the part.

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

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

[Endless money bag. 】

【A gift from the world, with it, you will have endless money. 】

[Duration of existence: 6 months. 】

[Binding master: Tang Sen. 】

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

Tang Sen tipped the money bag over, and the shriveled and empty money 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, making a jingling sound.

It is impossible for anyone to remain unmoved seeing such a scene, the glittering color of the gold coin is more dazzling than any other color in the world.

"Can money buy everything in the world?"

Tang Sen recalled the text he read before crossing, when he was dying.

In fact, Tang Sen's life is lackluster. It is nothing more than studying, graduating, working step by step, and trying to save enough down payment for the house before the age of 30. Unfortunately, before the money is saved, life is ended by a dump truck.

The good news is that his ordinary life was finally favored by Goldfinger, and he got the chance to travel through the heavens.

According to the text, I need to prove that money can really buy anything, and if the purchase is successful, I can get a reward——

Take away from this world something you have touched.

Tang Sen had no other choice. The dump truck lived up to its reputation. He remembered that he flew very high, but he didn't feel any pain. He probably broke his spine directly, and there probably weren't a few good bones left on his body. He probably didn't have a chance to be rescued. .

At least in this world, he can live for another half a year, and even look for the hope of being able to survive after returning to reality.

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

"There are too many priceless things in the world, let alone in the heavens and worlds, even in such a materialistic modern society, money is far from omnipotent."

"At least, it has no way of bringing me back to life."

"However, if you add an endless prefix in front of money, then there is no room for manipulation."

Townsend picked up a gold coin. The obverse of the gold coin was a portrait, and the back was engraved with a scepter, a coat of arms and a crown. The surrounding inscriptions had the minting date: 1719.

"It looks like it should be a guinea coin, the currency of England in the [-]th and [-]th centuries."

Tang Sen's academic performance was not very good since he was a child, but he has always had a wide range of knowledge. This is due to his thirst for knowledge that is different from ordinary people about the games he has played and the entertainment works he has seen. Details that others don't pay attention to will also be checked.

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

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

The currency at this time was a real precious metal, 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 enough to feed the whole family for a whole day was only three-quarters of a pence.

Tang Sen has read a document, the annual income of an ordinary maid in this era is only 120 pence, which is barely enough to fill her stomach, the annual income of blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen is only a few pounds, and the middle class, such as senior lawyers, military officers The annual income is about two or three hundred pounds, which is enough to buy a townhouse in a big city, hire a few servants, and live a decent life. Nine thousand pounds is already an astronomical figure in this era.

As for the guinea coins in Tang Sen's hands, each of them is worth 21 shillings. With this gold coin, it is enough to hire two young maids for more than a year.

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

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

"I can be considered a godly hero now."

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

Being rich is naturally worth being happy, but I am almost a dead person now. If I can't find a way to continue my life in this world, no amount of money is meaningless.

What's more, having a lot of money is not necessarily a good thing. If this is really the world I speculate, with my sub-healthy arms and legs, I have no power to protect myself. Considering what will happen after returning to reality, you will die in this world directly.

"In short, my life is important, let's figure out the current situation first."

Thinking of this, suddenly there was the sound of creaking footsteps, getting closer, Tang Sen's expression froze, and he quickly restrained his expression.

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

"I'm going to Port Royal soon. We're going to unload the goods and make purchases. Are you going to disembark here or continue on the ship?"

"It is estimated that there are quite a lot of people boarding in Port Royal, but there is no single room treatment, but the price is naturally cheaper, and it only costs two shillings to the next island."

The visitor 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 didn't appear in this world out of thin air. The existence that brought me here is quite considerate. The problem of language communication seems to be solved. Moreover, there is an initial identity that allows me to integrate into this world. The world is not too abrupt."

Although this identity currently does not seem to be of any help to complete the purchase of goods.

"But... Port Royal?" Tang Sen's heart moved, and he spoke in fluent English: "I'm going to disembark here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pulled open, and outside the door was a middle-aged sailor with dark skin, also wearing dirty cloth clothes, with a shaved head and muscular arms.

"Then get ready to go to the deck and wait, don't delay us moving the goods."

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

The outside leads directly to the cabin, and there are several small rooms on both sides. The front is full of goods tied with tarpaulins and ropes. Many sailors are already moving the goods. Tang Sen followed the sailors up the stairs of the cabin. The sea breeze was blowing head-on, and the stench that had been lingering in the nasal cavity finally dissipated most of it.

Tang Sen took a deep breath. Looking around, the sea was so blue that it was unreal. On the surface of the sea, sailboats of various colors floated. Farther away, a lush island stood tall, and the castle and city walls on the island could be seen.

Everything was really busy, and in Tang Sen's eyes, this was more shocking than any game he had ever played.

At this time, he really felt that he was no longer in that steel forest, but another world, which used to exist only in illusory images, but now, he was in it.

As the ship approached slowly, three mummified corpses could be seen hanging on the reef near the pier, with a sign hanging on it-"Pirates did not end well".

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

Tang Sen leaned over and said, "Pirates?"

The sailor looked Tang Sen up and down, "Are you the one on the boat? It doesn't look like you are living at sea. What are you doing in Port Royal?"

"Go to relatives." Tang Sen smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen a pirate. Although it's 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 believe me, it's best not to believe it."

"Those stories of treasure and adventure are deceitful."

"If there are live pirates, they will just take every penny you have, cut your neck open, and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

Townsend didn't take up the topic of trying to scare the sailors, but said perfunctorily: "I have indeed heard many rumors about pirates."

He turned around and said:
"Have you heard the story of the Black Pearl?"
