The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 444: Abducting the Governor's Daughter, Anne Moore's Marriage (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month)
"Where did you get that boatload of black slaves?" someone couldn't help but question.

This question is not without reason.

On the first day of the game’s launch, ordinary players were still trying to figure out how to upgrade and become stronger, and how to work and make money.

People would fight to the point of bleeding over a pirate's toe bone, not to mention the pound, which was exchanged at a 1:20 ratio to the shilling.

If you want to buy a boat through formal channels, the price can easily be tens of thousands of pounds.

No matter how rich a person is, he can't afford it at this time.

——The currency in the hands of players is too little. If they want to pool together to buy a ship, they will probably have to trade with tens of thousands of people, which is not enough in one day.

Therefore, this ship must have come from an illegitimate place!

The elder brother replied confidently: "Of course I robbed it!"

In an instant, no one questioned him anymore. Instead, they all started asking him how he did it and if he could teach them how to steal it.

My brother’s private message exploded instantly.

In ShaDow's live broadcast room, Hei Gege was also stunned when he saw his avatar appear in the official live broadcast room of Dream Building.

My first reaction was a little fear.

But he soon realized: this was not a wanted order for Zhumeng, but a wanted order for the "Royal Navy".

Then there is nothing to be afraid of!

The Royal Navy is... just crap.

As for the player... he is with a large group of good brothers every day, who can kill him?
There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be afraid of at all!
ShaDow successfully convinced himself and shook his head nonchalantly: "80 pounds? That's really looking down on me!"

Fortunately, he is not the wanted criminal with the lowest reward.

Han Dong and Tang Qian introduced the 12 wanted criminals one by one.

Six of them belong to pirates.

There is a pirate captain like Barbossa whose bounty is as high as 18000 pounds.

There are also arsonists like [Varren Kofman] who have a reward of 300 pounds.

The other 6 cards are all players.

A special point is——

For characters in open world modes like [ShaDow], the bounty amounts are very low.

ShaDow's 80 pounds is considered high.

The other two:

“[The French Fry Thief], he stole from more than 300 households in one day, stealing more than Sh3000.”

"No casualties, reward of £50."

"[Sanjay] led a group of people to abduct 38 young women and imprison them. Their fate remains unknown."

"The impact is bad and the harm is great. A reward of 70 pounds is offered."

But in the permanent death adventurer mode, the bounty amount is significantly increased:
"[Black Light], kidnapped the Governor of San Juan Port's daughter Diana, and offered a reward of 500 pounds for his head!"

"If you can safely send Diana back to the port of San Juan, Governor Juan will give you a generous reward."

"[Perretton], bombarded the Governor's Palace and sank two warships. Reward: £580!"

"[Beram], a sailor from the Blue Blood Pirate Fleet, killed more than 800 civilians, bounty of 660 pounds!"

In these three wanted posters, the three characters’ portraits have the blood-red emblem unique to the Adventurer Mode—a skull pierced by a sword—next to their portraits.

The starting reward amount is 500 pounds!

Players also fully understand this operation——

If one dies, he can be resurrected, and at most he will lose some money.

If the other one dies, it’s all over and all accumulations will be reset to zero.

The difficulty of hunting is absolutely incomparable.

Of course, players will not complain about the bounty amount, but the reason for the bounty will inevitably be complained about by the players.

Especially the guy who kidnapped the Governor's young daughter!
A lot of accusations soon emerged in the live broadcast room:

"You kidnapped a 12-year-old girl? Where's the humanity? Where's the morality? Where's the strategy!?"

"Governor's daughter, the guards should be very tight. How did you do it?"

"Brother, do you want to help?"

"Brothers, I think I found a way to make money! Get someone to cooperate with me. You go kidnap the governor's relatives, and I'll kill you to collect the reward. We'll split the reward in half!"

……

In the live broadcast room, Han Dong's expression was a little difficult to maintain.

But after all, he had received professional training, so he tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Tang Qian took over the conversation and continued reporting:
"The Royal Navy has seen a surge in new recruits, with more than 1000 million new recruits added last week. This is expected to completely reverse the situation of pirates rampant in the Caribbean and wantonly looting merchant ships."

"The consumption of sugarcane in Port-au-Prince has increased dramatically, and there may be a shortage of sugar in the next week. As expected, the price of sugar will rise."

"Two three-masted sailing ships have just been launched at Nelson Shipyard, but the original buyer was robbed by pirates and went bankrupt, and can no longer afford it. Those who want to buy ships can go there to negotiate." "In the next week, there will be a strong storm in the waters of Barbados. Ships passing through Barbados are advised to detour."

"The waters around Antigua are about to usher in a short-term fishing season, and there is a high probability that blue whales will appear - whale oil is in short supply in all ports in the Caribbean."

"A mysterious island suddenly appeared 280 nautical miles east of Providencia. There are rumors that there is an open-air gold vein on the island, but no one has found the gold mine so far. Two ships and 80 sailors are still missing."

……

The virtual female anchor Tang Qian has a sweet voice and first-class professional skills.

Broadcast each message smoothly.

After each line is read, the director will play a short clip of related footage at the appropriate time.

There are rows of naval formations performing drills, slaves sweating in sugarcane plantations, sailboats being launched in shipyards, people standing at the harbor looking at the approaching rain clouds, fishermen casting nets to catch fish in the sea, and islands looming in the thick sea fog...

As the players watched, they discovered:
This news covers a lot of diverse content.

It covers many fields including military developments, weather forecasts, ocean fishing seasons, business information, political news, etc.

And they are all valuable!
Everyone started discussing in the live broadcast room:
"The 1000 million navy is real, but there are probably 1000 million pirates as well! Safe? Dream on!"

"The price of sugar has increased? Very good, give me a ship first, and I will go and transport sugar to sell right away."

"A ship? Nelson Dockyard has one ready-made. The question is who the hell can afford it?"

"Brothers! I have an idea! Let's set up a [shared shipping company], split it into 100 million shares, and subscribe for 1 shilling per share. We can use the 1 million shillings from the sale of shares - that is, 100 pounds - to buy a ship for trading, and the profits will be distributed according to the shareholding ratio!"

"No buddy, you already have 100 million people, isn't it faster to just rob them than to raise funds?"

……

Everyone was chatting animatedly, with comments in the live broadcast room soaring.

Han Dong took over the conversation again and reported a special piece of news:
"Yesterday, the Rose Pirates' Captain Annie Moore suddenly announced that she would hold a public contest to find a husband."

"Now, let's connect with Miss Anne Moore live to learn more about the situation."

The live broadcast screen was divided into two as the screen was filled with “???” comments.

A beautiful female pirate wearing a triangular captain's hat, with a proud figure and long fiery red hair appeared in the camera.

She stepped on the head of a pirate who was kneeling in surrender with her boots, holding a whip in her hand, looking heroic.

The emerald green eyes were beautiful and somewhat eerie.

After the live broadcast was successfully connected, she stared at the camera in a daze.

Then a hearty smile appeared on his face: "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

After saying that, he did a gorgeous straight kick with his legs stretched straight!
The pirate in front of him was kicked away instantly!
"Snapped!"

Amid the crisp sound of the whip, the pirate who was rushing over aggressively immediately covered his face and screamed.

"Bang!" A bullet shot out from the gun barrel and flew straight towards Annemore.

Slow down the camera——

The pirate queen's body suddenly leaned back, her surging breasts almost jumped out of the leather jacket, and the bullet passed narrowly between two shaking peaks.

The next second, Annie Moore touched the deck with both hands, did three gorgeous backflips, and finally jumped high into the air!
As his body spun, he pulled out a gorgeous flintlock decorated with silver roses and fired it gracefully!
"boom!"

The enemy's one-eyed pirate captain's only remaining eye also bleeds.

The whole person fell down with a loud bang.

Anne Moore raised the muzzle of the gun and gently blew away the thin gunpowder smoke from the muzzle.

"Surrender or die!"

The fighting on the deck soon stopped.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the enemy pirates dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Rose Pirates.

"OK, now we can get down to business."

Anne Moore twirled the gun in her hand, smiled and said to the camera:

"I plan to find myself a husband through a martial arts competition. Anyone under 30 years old is welcome to participate."

"Your status or occupation is not limited, but you must go to sea with me and hunt pirates."

“If you’re interested, remember to come to Havana next week!”

After saying that, she blew a kiss to the camera, and the connection was disconnected.

In the studio, Han Dong blinked and felt a little moved.

The players who watched the special program were instantly excited!

"Brothers! A new wife has appeared!"

"She even brought three ships of her own as a dowry!"

"It looks quite powerful! That little whip!"

"A martial arts competition to find a husband... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to be a husband. I wonder if she will accept a godson?"
