There were five or six thumb-sized flies hovering above the head of the greasy chicken coop.
As the door opened, a sour smell hit my nose.
Edward looked angry and held an ax in his hand.
After seeing Keynes, the anger on Old Edward's face subsided slightly.
After all, he is the boss's son, and he has watched him grow up.
Edward glanced sideways at Maud and Lafayette, and then looked at Keynes.
"What's up?"
"Is such that… "
Keynes knew Edward's temperament very well, and he didn't talk nonsense. He made the matter clear in a few words.
After listening to Keynes' explanation, Edward looked at Maud in surprise.
Among the guests that Thomas Shipyard has always received, people who are as willing to spend money as Maud are extremely rare.
Moreover, in Edward's opinion, Maud was too young...
"As long as the money is in place, you will be satisfied."
Edward looked at Maud and calmed down his temper.
This kind of super-large customer who can pay him to make full use of his skills is rare.
Suddenly, Edward's heart, which had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but become hot.
"Old man, you know the Sea Train Tom in the Water City, right?"
"oh?"
Edward looked at Maud with a hint of confusion.
What does it mean to mention this suddenly
Maud smiled.
His mind was full of fantastic ideas, and he just needed an outlet.
I just hope this old man can handle it.
Edward trembled inexplicably, looking a little confused.
Chapter 54: New ships from the future
"Same as a sea train, a ship that uses steam as its power source???"
“Better to be able to dive???”
"Convert steam into energy that can explode in an instant, and then make the ship fly???"
"A propeller is installed on both sides of the hull that can be stored freely??? so that it can remain suspended for a period of time when flying???"
"If technology permits, the hidden propeller can be converted into an impeller to propel the ship at any time???"
"The size of the ship does not need to be too large, but it is best to be equipped with two small vehicles in the cabin, a small submarine and a land vehicle???"
"???"
Edward was stunned for a moment.
When customers spend big money, they have to strive for excellence.
He understands this truth and can appreciate it.
But listening to Maud's increasingly exaggerated demands, Edward, who was over seventy years old, was dumbfounded.
Maude looked at Edward who was in a daze, clasped her fingers and said with a smile: "And, just..."
"Plop."
Edward fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and fainted.
"Grandpa Edward!"
Keynes was shocked when he saw this, rushed over in a few steps, squatted down to check on Edward.
Immediately, he took out a can of emergency medicine from Edward's dirty clothes pocket, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into Edward's mouth.
After taking the medicine, the condition of Edward, who was over seventy years old, stabilized.
Keynes breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Maude and Lafayette, and apologized:
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. The old man is old and will inevitably have some old problems in his body."
"I understand."
Maud nodded calmly, thinking that Edward was ill. She went straight to the messy workbench and found paper and pen.
"I have almost fifty requests and proposals, otherwise I will just write them down on paper, and when the old man wakes up, Keynes, you can hand them over to him."
"OK."
Keynes responded, but he didn't notice that Edward's body beside him trembled.
Maude's writing speed is not unusually fast.
After a while, he had written down fifty demands.
"I put the paper here."
Maude put down the paper, raised the pen in her hand to Keynes, and then pressed the pen on the paper.
"OK."
Keynes moved Edward to the bed in the studio, and then smiled apologetically at Maud and Lafayette again.
Maude didn't care and led Lafayette away from the messy studio that was filled with sour smell.
The two left the studio and walked side by side in the corridor.
"Maude, those requests you made...how did you come up with them?"
"It's not what I thought, but what I saw in the book."
"Book? Storybook?"
"That's right..."
Maud chuckled lightly and didn't want to explain further.
You can’t say it’s a comic book called “ONE PIECE”, right
He would reveal the existence of the hunter's notes to Lafayette, but he would never reveal the details of his identity as a time traveler.
Most of the various requests that he made to Edward that were even scary came from the technology tree of this world.
Of course, he made so many demands at once, and he didn't expect Edward to fulfill many of them.
Just like trying his luck, he threw out all the possibilities and then saw how many possibilities Edward could take the bait.
If you are lucky, you may be able to get a new ship from the future.
Lafayette didn't know what Maud was thinking, so he could only mourn for the old man just now.
However, he is full of expectations for this future ship worth 600 million yuan.
The two returned to the VIP room.
After Keynes returned, Maude finalized all subsequent matters with him.
After that, it depends on how long it will take Thomas Shipyard to purchase Baoshu Adam.
If everything goes well, they may be able to use the new ship in less than two months.
If things don't go well...
Just have to wait a long time.
That's not what Maud wants to see.
But even if he doesn't want to, there are some things that he can't change.
The only thing that can be done is to increase the price in exchange for time and efficiency.
After settling the matter of the new ship, Maud and his team left Thomas Shipyard.
"The money for building a ship may not be enough, and you will have to add furniture and other things later..."
Maude thought about money.
This is the first time he has been worried about money since he plundered a large sum of money from the dragon territory.
However, this time the money is necessary.
Because the new ship is not only a guarantee for them to sail on the sea, but also their future home.
For this, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it.
"If you want to make money quickly, that means... robbing your peers."
"But this is not a lawless place. Even if there are many colleagues here, we can't be too blatant."
Considering the quick way to get money, of course, it is to grab it directly.
It was impossible for Mod to steal money from civilians, so the first target that came to mind was naturally other pirate groups.
This kind of black and white eating is also what he is most willing to do.
However, although there is no navy stationed here, there are a large number of Ahab soldiers. Moreover, Dick City has clearly established several rules that cannot be violated.
As a pirate, if he acts too arrogantly, he will inevitably be targeted by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ahab.
He is not afraid of being targeted, but he does not want to affect the production of new ships.
While thinking, Maud led the way out of Thomas Shipyard and came to North Street.
Suddenly, gunshots broke out.
Dozens of lead bullets flew out of the darkness and headed straight for Maude.
Maude noticed it, but did nothing.
Lafayette's eyes turned cold, and he walked to Maude's left side in a flash, and used his armed-colored crutch to knock down all the flying lead bullets.
Jia Ya came to the right side of Maude, drew out the hand ax, and also neatly shot the lead bullet aimed at Maude.
The sudden shooting scared Betty and she immediately ran to the middle of Jim's legs, and then slumped to the ground with relief, as if this was the only safe place at the moment.
Bailey lay on Maude's shoulder, glanced sideways at the frightened Betty, and couldn't help but open his mouth and yawn.
The shooting happened suddenly.
Only after the gunshots passed did the residents on the street react. They subconsciously hid behind various obstacles and immediately looked at Maude and his group on the street.
Although there are many pirates in Dick City, shootings in the streets are still rare.
I don’t know who those people offended...
The residents of Dick City thought silently.
After Lafayette and Jaya blocked the lead bullets, Maud stopped and looked calmly at the direction in which the lead bullets were flying.
The auras they sensed neither appeared nor fired a second round of shooting, but simply evacuated the place.
Retreating without a single blow would be decisive.
Lafayette held his cane and danced in a circle of stick flowers. With murderous intent in his eyes, he asked: "Are you chasing me?"
"certainly."
Maude narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Don't leave any of them behind, and don't forget to search yourself."
"learn."
Lafayette also sneered and immediately chased the escaped gunmen.
Jia Ya hesitated for a moment, but also chased after the gunman who escaped from the other direction.
Maud watched as Lafayette and Jaya chased the short-eyed gunmen, paused, and then looked at a few men in front of the street who exuded obvious murderous intent.
Dare to come forward, obviously quite confident, not to mention weak.
"Ah… "
