Chapter 84

Everyone, please pay attention to Old Pig's WeChat public account “The Black Pig on the Wild Mountain.” It will periodically push interesting previews and chapters!

【Voodoo Doll】: D-grade item, one-time use. This item is the most malevolent product of black magic in the Caribbean world, used to curse your enemies. Blackbeard particularly liked these dolls and made quite a few. This is one of his early works, so it is quite immature. It can only be used in the sea, automatically emitting a bloody smell that strongly attracts various terrifying sea monsters, increasing the priority of attacks on the person you hate. However, the effect only lasts for 60 seconds.

"Where did you get such a strange voodoo doll?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

The young man gave a bitter laugh. "Do you think I got it? On the contrary!"

He then told his tragic story.

It turned out that his team was a group of freelance mercenaries who entered the world of Caribbean pirates to complete a high-difficulty mercenary exploration mission, with a reward of 500 supply points.

They went through great lengths to board their exploration target, Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge.

However, during the operation, their small probing actions were quickly discovered by Blackbeard, who possessed black magic and could control ropes, sails, and all other ship equipment.

He showed no reaction.

A month later, when the mission was almost complete and the team was preparing to withdraw, Blackbeard suddenly announced that they would set sail.

After two days of sailing, Blackbeard easily used the rope like a venomous snake to capture all the mercenaries in the team.

Then, he gave the five unfortunate souls a choice: either be strangled to death by the rope immediately, or jump into the sea with the voodoo doll he made.

Blackbeard enjoyed killing, especially using voodoo dolls.

He liked the feeling of control when black magic tormented and cursed his enemies to death in despair.

The five people chose to jump into the sea without hesitation.

They still had a glimmer of hope, thinking they might escape using various trump cards.

But this choice made them regret it bitterly.

"This is the kind of 【Voodoo Doll】!" the young man said through gritted teeth. "It made me fear the sea for the rest of my life. I swear I will never go to sea again!"

"What happens if you take it with you?" Lin Qing asked.

"Shark" the young man was silent for a moment, then said, "You can never imagine how many sharks there are in the Caribbean Sea!"

Lin Qing asked him why he could remove and obtain this 【Voodoo Doll】, but the young man coldly refused to answer. From his heartbroken expression, it seemed there was another story behind it. The cost was so high that it was far from what he wanted.

In the end, Lin Qing bought the swimsuit and the incomplete version of the 【Voodoo Doll】 for a total of 1200 points.

This price was slightly higher than the minimum of 1000 points, but Lin Qing had limited time and didn't want to spend more time and energy. He paid the money and left. This chaotic, constantly moving market was perfect for him, as it could prevent any tracking.

Lin Qing put on the swimsuit, feeling more confident. He still had 1800 supply points and decided to spend them all.

What was needed in the Age of Exploration?

Lin Qing blinked and walked towards a low, shabby store. From the outside, it looked like a general store, with a chaotic interior filled with all kinds of goods.

After a lot of effort, Lin Qing squeezed out of the cramped space and barely reached the back counter.

Inside, there was a lame old man with bulging eyes, a mouth full of gold teeth, and a pipe, seemingly smoking opium, exhaling smoke.

Seeing Lin Qing, a stranger, he frowned and cackled, "Get out!"

Lin Qing didn't get angry and showed the red flower double stick emblem.

The old man immediately calmed down and cackled, "What brings you here?"

Lin Qing said calmly, "I want to buy a gun."

"The pistols are only these few," the old man put down the opium and pointed to a few guns hanging on the dirty, greasy wall behind him.

Lin Qing picked one up, glanced at it, and threw it down. "This is just junk. Either the durability is problematic, or the weapons are broken. Do you still dare to call yourself the largest arms smuggler in the Hong Gang territory?"

The old man showed his gold teeth and laughed, "No! But even if you are a gold medal killer and a VIP customer of the Hong Gang, you need to pay a deposit to get my private goods."

Lin Qing sneered, "Do you doubt my ability to pay?"

"I dare not! I dare not!" The old man showed his gold teeth, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and said with a forced smile, "As far as I know, the Hong Gang has its own supply warehouse. Why come to me to buy things?"

Lin Qing's face darkened, "Do you ask so many questions when selling things? Knowing too much can be dangerous."

The old man didn't dare to really challenge a red flower double stick killer, so he pressed a button under the table, and a hidden compartment slowly opened.

Lin Qing looked inside and saw a stack of guns, all wrapped in oil paper and sealed with butter, shiny and new.

"Not bad," Lin Qing was somewhat satisfied and checked the attributes of the weapons one by one.

In the end, Lin Qing chose two weapons.

A heavy large pistol "Broken Wing Butterfly": a high-power, large-caliber pistol, a white weapon, with 8 rounds (upgradable for a fee), 12 points of muzzle kinetic damage, and a reload speed of 2.33 seconds. Requires special caliber bullets. Bullet damage is calculated separately.

Feature: [Stun], the Broken Wing Butterfly has a 50% chance to cause the enemy to be [dazed] for 2 seconds when it hits the head.

The other is a standard caliber pistol "Browning Hi-Power," 6.35 mm, 10 rounds, 8 points of muzzle kinetic damage, and a reload speed of 1.6 seconds. Can fire standard bullets. Can be equipped with a silencer to achieve silent killing.

Feature: [Headshot], shooting the enemy's head has a 35% chance to cause a headshot, dealing four times the damage.

These two pistols, one ostentatious and the other low-key, are both excellent weapons.

Why did Lin Qing insist on choosing a pistol?

Because he had to play the role of a surgeon, he had to use the weapons commonly used by doctors!

The surgical knife he was supposed to use had been reported as damaged, so he didn't need it. But he had to have a pistol for his mission!

A killer can't be without a pistol!

Lin Qing decided to buy a good pistol.

He said coldly, "These two weapons don't seem so impressive."

The old man was flustered and eager to show the customer the excellent performance of his weapons. He put on a ring, cackled, pulled the Broken Wing Butterfly, loaded a bullet, and fired two shots.

Two bottles on a table across the room shattered.

The old man cackled, "What do you think? Are my weapons good?"

Lin Qing was deeply attracted by the old man's ring.

He observed carefully and noticed that when the old man used the Broken Wing Butterfly, the ring flashed with a cold light!

This ring was an auxiliary shooting item.

The old man then used the Browning to shoot at the bottles on the table, hitting all three shots.

Lin Qing smiled inwardly.

Clearly, the old man was putting on a show, using the ring with special attributes to inflate the price of his weapons.

"Since you want to sell, I have a condition. How about including this ring as a bonus?"

Lin Qing pointed at the ring and said calmly.

The old man became nervous, not expecting the killer to see through his trick. He coldly said, "You can't afford this ring."

Lin Qing smiled coldly.

He knew about the old man's existence because there was a secret diary in the surgeon's room, listing the addresses of all underground stores selling weapons, drugs, toxins, and other prohibited items. Some he had visited, and some he hadn't.

The old man was listed as "likes to deceive" and was not easily entered for purchases.

Lin Qing tapped the table and said calmly, "I don't plan to buy."

The old man's expression turned cold, and he crossed his legs, took a puff of opium, and coldly said, "If so, get out!"

Lin Qing laughed, "You, a insignificant adventurer, pretending to be a relative of the坛主 (tan zhu, leader of a sect) and running an underground weapons store here. Do you know you are violating the Hong Gang's laws? The Hong Gang stipulates that any weapons store in the territory must be approved by the Hong Gang, issued a license, and pay a high weapons trading tax. Do you have any of these?"

The old man's face changed, and he said sternly, "You... you are actually?"

Lin Qing shrugged, "I don't want to meddle in other people's affairs or cause you trouble. But if you don't do as I say, you will have trouble. I can guarantee that."

"You... you..." The old man's face turned a liver color, and he rang a bell.

Two burly men, fully armed with guns, rushed in and shouted at the old man, "Is someone causing trouble?"

"That's him!" The old man pointed at Lin Qing, "Get rid of him!"

The two burly men immediately aimed at Lin Qing.

But the next second, their faces changed.

Because Lin Qing took out something.

The red flower double stick killer's emblem.

This item was more effective in the Hong Gang-controlled area than the white paper fan order (written on a white paper fan) of the Hong Gang leaders!

Because offending the white paper fan leaders and fleeing to the Brotherhood's territory might not result in death, but offending the red flower double stick killers could endanger the entire family.

The burly men, who were guarding the store, were drenched in cold sweat, put down their weapons, and said with a forced smile, "This must be a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding!"

The old man coldly said, "I pay you 20 supply points a day to say this?"

Before he finished speaking, a cold gun was already pressed against his temple.

Lin Qing said coldly, "I want to buy this pistol and the ring in your hand!"

The old man shouted, "You... you are forcing a sale?"

Lin Qing sneered, "So what? On the Hong Gang's territory, do you dare to defy orders? Do you believe I will immediately inform the Second Marshal to send people to raid your illegal weapons store?"
