Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 428: Competition of Wealth: Give the Lake Monster a little shock from the rich!
"So fast!"

Byron used [Divine Vision] to see with his own eyes a female figure covered in jewels, who appeared behind them as if she had teleported.

Ring ring ring.
Before they could turn around and take the initiative, the three of them heard a sudden loud sound of silver bells in their ears.

At this moment, a normal person's reaction should be to immediately distance themselves from the enemy, and then find an opportunity to counterattack after regrouping.

But as soon as they heard the ringing, they found that there was a serious conflict between their instincts and reason.

The logical approach is to turn around and face the enemy, but the instinct is to get close to the other party, or even to completely merge with the other party.

The more intuitive feeling is hunger!
It's not that my stomach is hungry, but my wallet is hungry.

Incomparably hungry!

Only by getting the other person can I feel a little relief.

Of course, these three are not ordinary people, and their resistance is much stronger than that of other princes.

Byron possesses the freest "god of self" in the world. As long as he wants, he will not be constrained by any id desires or superego morality.

Although Violet was short of money, she had just received the arms industry from Byron. In the Boston Matrix of economics, it was both a "golden bull" that made a fortune and a "star" that was booming.

Whether now or in the future, it will make more money than direct robbery, and with unrest approaching, it will only make more and more money after the formation of a military-industrial complex.

By the way, she also shared Byron's wife's money with Catherine, so she had enough pocket money for the time being, which was probably enough for her to work at full speed for half a year.

As for Atahualpa, just skip it.

The three of them paused for a moment before rushing forward together again, turning around and counterattacking while keeping some distance between them.

But whether it was Byron's sword wind that could cut through steel pillars, Violet's large-caliber enchanted bullets, or Atahualpa's fireballs, they were all in vain.

The strangely dressed woman was as grotesque as a reflection on the lake. Even the strongest attack could only cause ripples temporarily, and after the ripples, everything would be back to normal.

The woman remained unharmed.

The three people suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, which meant that the other party was not an independent monster, but a part of the rules of this secret realm.

Unless the entire secret realm can be destroyed, she cannot be killed with violence like the beavers, frogs, water snakes, etc. that crawled out of the lake.

"Byron?"

Violet tilted her head to ask.

Byron shook his head.
"No, I can't see the end of the entire secret realm. 'Ming Shen Jiang Sheng' is not yet able to break everything with a sword. If I want to deal with her, I still have to use the rules."

Ring ring ring.
The ringing from the other side became more and more urgent, and the three people's attention was refocused on the monster that appeared in front of them.

On the surface, it looks like a beautiful girl with skin as white as silver, but if you look closely, you will find that this is a non-human being made entirely of silver.

In the legend of the Empire of the Sun, gold is the sweat of the sun god and silver is the tears of the moon god.

However, no one has ever seen the silver moon, nor has anyone seen the so-called "Moon God" who dares to risk his own life and lay his hands on the authority of the blood-red moon.

There are few believers in the Moon Goddess, and the value of silver is far inferior to that of gold.

But she looked like a nouveau riche who was afraid that others didn't know how rich she was, and was wearing all kinds of jewelry.

Dozens of jewel hairpins, hundreds of bracelets and anklets, hundreds of necklaces, as well as gold belts, gold rings, and rings. There is not a single empty space on her body, it is all glittering with gold and jewels.

Obviously, this is the greedy collection of treasures and souls of the dead [Bizarre Lake Monster Jibaro].

She did not make any counterattack against the attacks of the three men, but instead performed a seductive dance on the spot.

To a normal person, the sight of a beautiful dancer dancing gracefully should evoke the lust of a succubus.

She was completely different. It seemed that all her desires were forcibly bound into "greed", and all her dance moves became jewelry displays to show off her wealth.

Raise your hand and look at my gold bracelet. Is it big? It's solid and weighs three pounds each!

With just a wink, how do you know that my hairpin is inlaid with sapphires, tourmalines and priceless diamonds?
With a twist of my waist, each pearl on the pearl necklace on my body is bigger than a thumb, and one pearl can keep those poor guys alive for a lifetime!

Then I saw her hook her feet, and the golden tassels on the hem of her skirt, which were decorated with various gems, rustled. If I got them, I would be able to exchange them for everything in the world, right?

Come on, come on, take them all. If you have money, you can do whatever you want!

She was like someone who had been hungry for three days gnawing on a super fat chicken leg. Every time she took a bite, her mouth was full of oil. The worst thing was that she smacked her lips while eating.

But the three of them knew that these voices that surged from the bottom of their hearts were not their normal emotions, but the dregs of the collective of greed.

Using dance and sound as a medium, it is constantly transmitted to them.

However, just like all other secret realms and rule monsters, as long as they do not violate the killing rules in this secret realm and occupy treasures that do not belong to them, the opponent's lethality will be no stronger than a spring breeze blowing on their faces.

The only thing the lake monster Jibaro can do is to test them with treasures and make them make mistakes on their own initiative.

After she finished the dance, Byron looked around with a strange expression:

"Can you withstand this temptation?"

Violet shook her head slightly. “My rating is average.”

Atahualpa shook his head again and again:
“It’s much shabbier than I thought.

Using this to test the Son of the Sun, which Son of the Sun cannot withstand such a test? There is something strange, there must be something strange here! "

As the latter spoke, he pulled out a crystal magnifying glass from his storage of treasures, carefully moved forward, and began to identify the quality of the gemstone on the lake monster that was most likely to be eye-catching.

But after observing carefully for a while, I found that there seemed to be nothing strange.

The treasure on the other party is indeed valuable, but it is really just valuable.

All added up, at most it would be comparable to the amount of their first transaction of 200,000 pounds.

He was just scaring himself, and when he looked at the lake monster again, there was even a hint of pity in his eyes.

Everyone has a greedy heart. This level tests whether the princes will forget their original intention of finding a place to build a city and establish a country because of their greed for treasures.

But the bait was clearly not up to par.

To put it bluntly, these three people have too high an appetite, and ordinary wealth is no longer enough to impress them.

What does it mean to have no desire? It means to have no desire only when you already have it.

The same gold coin obviously has different appeal to different people.

There are gold coins under the feet of the rich man, but he didn't pick them up. That's because his time is precious and it's not worth wasting it picking up money.

Ordinary people didn't pick up the gold coins under their feet, that must be because he didn't see them!

The first situation is happening now.

"squeak--!"

Perhaps because the attitudes of these three people were so hurtful, the angry lake monster let out a sharp cry from his throat and opened his mouth for the first time.

Something flashed slightly in the sunlight, and then she took it back.

It looked like a sun cast in the shape of a smiling face.

The three people's eyes finally lit up at the same time, because what she held in her mouth was the "Sun Badge" they were looking for. "Since the rules say that every treasure on the island could be Jibaro's original body or clone, this should be one of the clones.

This means that in this trial, each group must eliminate at least one of Jibaro's clones in order to obtain the Sun Badge.

My Lord, lend me your purse."

When Byron thought about the rules of the secret realm, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to use the rules to destroy the lake monster's clone.

Taking the rare purse handed over by Atahualpa, Byron walked a few steps towards her and opened the [Ship Log] to comment on it:
"The density of silver is about 10.49 tons per cubic meter. Your entire body weighs only 600 kilograms, less than 700 pounds. I'll give you 700 gold coins.

The gold ornaments on his body weighed only about 64 pounds, which was not as heavy as a -pound caliber artillery shell.

The quality and weight of the gems are also average. They are shipped in bulk by jewelers. The total valuation is 200,000 pounds because of their antique value.

My friend, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's really not nice for you to test others like this.

Moreover, no matter how much treasure is scattered in this holy lake, it is just floating wealth, and the gold will be spent sooner or later.

Only industries that can generate positive cash flow can bring in endless wealth.

For example, our Fourth Prince [Hand of Fortune], the dozen or so gold mountains with the highest output in the empire are under his rule, and on average one ton of magma can produce 200 grams of gold.

As long as you obey our Prince Atahualpa and hand over the badge, our prince will give you endless money! "

As he said this, he raised his thumb and pointed to the fourth prince behind him.

Hearing this, Atahualpa also raised his head and chest and deliberately glared at the weirdo with his nose.

As a weird creature, the lake monster had no self-awareness, but it had the most basic instincts. It immediately sensed from the other party's emotions that they dared to look down on it?!

Do you think a freak born from countless sacrifices in the holy lake is too poor? !
But she didn't wait for her to continue getting angry.

Byron had reached into his purse and pulled out a large, glittering silver bracelet, which he waved in front of her.

“The mithril bracelet is stronger than steel, yet as light as a feather. It is pure and smooth, and never wears out. Its value is ten times that of the same volume of gold!
Do you want it? "

The lake monster had involuntarily stopped dancing, staring at the mithril bracelet, her throat moving as she swallowed saliva.

Until Byron threw the bracelet into the air.

Whoosh!
The lake monster suddenly pounced on the bracelet like a vicious dog and held it in his hand.

Then a cloud of black human faces rose from his body, and they all opened their mouths and uttered a chant:

"my darling!"

She said no, but her body was honest.

Byron continued to dig out Atahualpa's assets, using the diary to identify them.

"The refined Holy Gold Crown is worth a hundred times more than gold and weighs sixty kilograms."

After saying that, she threw it with force again, and the lake monster also leaped up, so that the crown was placed neatly on her head.

The black energy in his body instantly expanded exponentially, and countless voices uttered happy chants:
"Oh, my darling!"

It was obvious what Byron was going to do.

The most important rule is:
"Once anyone in the secret realm possesses treasure that does not belong to them (something that has an owner), they will be haunted by the soul of greed. The precious metals and inorganic substances in their bodies will become heavier and heavier until they are crushed to death and their bodies collapse."

The rules are the same for everyone.

When it comes to greed for treasure, no one here is more greedy than the lake monster himself!
After the death of the trial-taker, she can freely take possession of the property left behind by the other party, but once greed takes over, taking possession of such property that already has an owner will also be backfired by the rules.

A rich man is a rich man. He took out treasures that were more valuable than the other party's entire body, which immediately aroused the lake monster's greed.

The lake monster's clone was pressed lower and lower until it prostrated itself on the ground.

Finally, it came to the final round. Byron casually took out the last item. When he saw it, even he was stunned:
"The world's largest red diamond, the 13.9-carat Diamond Star, the world's largest, a second-level holy relic?

Priceless treasure! "

Looking back at Atahualpa, the latter chuckled:
"What the Sun God wants is the faith and will that accompany the sacrifice. Treasures are of little use to a powerful god.

How could such a precious treasure be used as a sacrifice and thrown at the bottom of the lake for nothing?

Anyway, ever since I got the title of [Hand of Fortune], many treasures in the empire have come into my hands for no apparent reason."

In other words, the gods belong to the gods, and the secular things belong to the secular things. The gods they worship are probably not as rich as they are.

Plus the effect of [Hand of Fortune]:

"You have the destiny of being surrounded by wealth throughout your life, and you will never be troubled by money.

You will pick up money when you go out, win the lottery, and make a fortune when you do business. From now on, you will live the life of a super rich person and even if you spend all your money, you can still make it back.

This is what money means to do whatever you want!"

Byron had already become numb. He raised his hand and put the Diamond Star directly on the lake monster's neck, which was stretched out impatiently.

Click!

The banshee, who had been crushed by her own weight and unable to get up, was torn into pieces on the spot and completely destroyed.

He was actually crushed to death by money.

But there was still a smile on his face, probably because he was very satisfied with the way he died.

The things she was carrying also became ownerless.

Rich woman VS rich dog owner, the rich woman lake monster is completely defeated!

Byron repacked the treasures that originally belonged to Atahualpa and returned them to him, and by the way, he put the inheritance left by the lake monster Jibaro into his own pocket.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

The winner of the competition of wealth naturally received the truly ownerless property.

Atahualpa didn't care about the spoils at all. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to share any with him, and put his hands behind his back, looking like he was saying "It's so lonely to be invincible."

Byron felt that if this guy could enter the Jinyuan sequence in the future, he would be a "congenital Jinyuan holy body" and would definitely be able to soar to the sky.

A person whose title is limited to the "Hand of Wealth" in the southern continent has an 80% chance of becoming the "King of Gold".

“It’s a pity that the collective subconscious of the Empire of the Sun is not connected to the Silver Law of the Old World.

Unlike the Bantayan Islands, which had been colonized for more than seventy years, the Wyandotte Islands could do this part-time.

Unless one day the seven layers of the Golden Rule are formed, Atahualpa will have the opportunity to take advantage of the common origin of the Quechua and Taino people and take advantage of my opportunity to ride on my coattails. "

They took a lot of time to obtain the badge, and Byron was about to let Atahualpa activate the Sun Badge to enter the next level.

But he found that there were another uninvited guest coming to the door.

This time it was no longer a freak thing, but a large group of [Lava Giants] with pink eyes.
