In order to save some money, Lao Bai hired a pony carriage for everyone to ride in the game.
After getting on the carriage, it was a little too big for the six people, so everyone had to squeeze in. Amina hugged Cecilia, and Sera sat on Lao Bai's lap. Anyway, Lao Bai in the game
With 18 points of strength and physique, my legs won’t go numb no matter how I sit.
The game is set in the 16th century, and the road conditions are naturally bad. The carriage bumps along the way. Lao Bai holds Sera in his arms, and Fatima is beside him.
Fatima casually leaned on Lao Bai's shoulder and asked softly: "Master, why did you buy so many things when you went to Suez this time? You have spent most of the money we have worked hard to save these days."
Lao Bai tilted his head and found that Fatima's little face was only 0.1 centimeters away from his. He immediately turned his head back, looked straight ahead and said: "I went to see a friend, the Shenma Sanbao, remember
? We met him when we were in Jakarta."
Cecilia rolled her golden curly hair and said softly: "Is it the one with the mustache? The one who is not tall?"
"Yes, that's him." The game character of Shenma Sanbao has two mustaches, which looks quite funny.
Sera leaned on Lao Bai's chest and said: "These antiques are of the best quality and are priceless. It is really generous of the master to give him such an expensive gift."
Lao Bai said: "That's natural, because he came here specifically to deliver something to me, so I naturally want him to make some money. Friends should help each other, but they shouldn't let their friends suffer."
Amina also came over and asked: "He gave us something? What did he give us?"
Lao Bai said: "Do you still remember the news we learned when we were doing a mission in the Egyptian palace?"
Amina thought for a moment and said: "Master is saying that the king and his ministers like tea, silk, and porcelain from China?"
"Yes." Lao Bai nodded, "So I entrusted Shenma Sanbao to help me deliver some goods."
Fatima suddenly showed a look of realization and said, "Does the master want to bribe them?"
Lao Bai smiled and said: "It's not that serious as bribery, right? It's just to increase everyone's friendliness."
Cecilia laughed from the side and said: "Sister Fatima really can't speak. What does the master do, what can be called a bribe? If someone else does it, it is more like a bribe, isn't it, master?"
Lao Bai was speechless for a moment.
In addition to completing tasks, giving gifts is also a way to improve NPC friendliness. But the gift must be to the person's liking, otherwise, no matter how many gifts you give, it will be useless. As for giving gifts of the king's level, you must not only satisfy the person's liking
, it must be valuable. In order to make the king happy, Lao Bai specially asked Shenma Sanbao to help purchase some good tea and porcelain and send it over.
While running business these days, Lao Bai also spent a lot of time in the Egyptian palace, trying to please the king. According to his estimation, after sending this heavy gift to the king, his friendship with the king would reach close.
After you have a close relationship with an NPC, you can generally make a request to the NPC. As long as the request is not too excessive, the NPC will agree. But this opportunity only comes when you get close to the NPC for the first time.
Lao Bai has been preparing for this opportunity for a long time. He plans to make a request to the king at that time, hoping to obtain Alexandria's shares.
The probability of agreeing to this request is not high, but Lao Bai has to try. If the king can agree, then his North Africa development plan can take the first step. Of course, even if the king is willing to agree, he will not immediately approve the treaty.
Instead, he will be given a super difficult task to do. This task will never be easy. He must complete it before he will be recognized. As for what task he will encounter, he can only decide what to do when the time comes.
If the king does not agree, then Lao Bai can only continue to increase the friendship level and hope that the system will have a plot. However, Lao Bai feels that the probability of the king agreeing is still very high. In the current version of the game, pirates are rampant, and no one dares to
Go engage in ocean trade. A shipment of special products from China will definitely make the king extremely happy.
Alexandria's shares - as Africa's largest seaport, even if it only gets 1%, it is still a huge amount of income.
Lao Bai was looking forward to the future when he heard Fatima say next to him: "The master is so kind to Sister Sera. No wonder Sister Sera loves you so much."
Sera said to Fatima in Lao Bai's arms: "Fatima, the master is very kind to each of us. Although I know you didn't mean it, you said this as if the master is partial."
She turned her head again and said to Lao Bai: "Master, can Fatima and I change places? You can hold her for a while too, so that she won't laugh at me."
Before Lao Bai could answer, Fatima held down Sera who was about to get up in Lao Bai's arms. She smiled and said: "Sister Sera, you misunderstood, who envy you, I mean the master gave up most of his family property for you.
It’s all spent, isn’t this good for you?”
"Eh? For Sister Sera?" Cecilia was a little confused, "Sister Fatima, did you say that these antiques bought by the master were actually for Sister Sera? But the master had already said that they were for that mustache.
Ah? Besides, even if the master gives these goods to Sister Sera, there is no use for Sister Sera to ask for these things."
Amina said to Cecilia: "I think Fadima is not talking about this ship of antiques, but the ship of goods sent by the owner's friend."
"Isn't that for the king?" Deniya asked.
Amina smiled and said: "Yes, but why do you think the master wants to give gifts to the king?"
Cecilia said with a sudden realization: "Ah! I understand! The master must have helped Sister Sera find her clan members and couldn't find her, so she had to send a gift to the king. If the king of Egypt is willing to help find her, then it will be easy to find her!"
Lao Bai was very embarrassed after listening to their discussion, and seemed to have been misunderstood again... His preparation of gifts for the king was actually just to obtain Alexandria's shares, and had nothing to do with Sera's mission to find her tribe.
But judging from the expressions of the girls in front of them, they all felt that this conjecture was correct. Cecilia even took Lao Bai’s hand and said: "Master is so kind to Sister Sera. In order to find her clan members, he gave up his family fortune."
It’s all spent. The master helps Sister Sera find her clan members, and also helps Cecilia find her parents..."
Seeing Lao Bai frown slightly, Sera hurriedly shook her head at everyone and said, "You'd better not make random guesses. The master spent so much money to give gifts to the king. Maybe he has other plans."
Amina also nodded and said: "That's right. We still don't want to guess the master's thoughts. But master, can you tell us why you gave such a heavy gift to the king?"
Lao Bai's gaze swept across everyone, and finally landed on Sera's amber eyes. Lao Bai only felt that these eyes were full of expectation.
