Farming in Pirate World

Chapter 12 The Mayor

Slowly, the crowds of people who went out to escape the pirates began to return.

Pirates without their backbone are actually just ordinary people who are more ruthless, and at most a little stronger than ordinary people.

Moreover, they had just experienced a storm last night and had been sailing on the sea for most of the day, so their physical condition was not the best.

In the end, after being rounded up by young people in the village and seven more injured, the remaining pirates were finally completely subdued.

Now, young people are returning to town to clean up the mess.

Although it didn't last long, many buildings were damaged by the battle with the pirates, and they also needed to be patiently repaired.

Therefore, the old people were left in Li Ming's cabin as a matter of course.

"By the way, can we pack up the body first? It feels so disgusting to have it here?"

Li Ming was sandwiched among a group of old men and weakly raised his hand.

Although Walder died in front of him, it could even be said that he designed to kill him, but having the corpse in front of him still made him feel very scary.

"If it doesn't work, just throw it into the sea, and you won't have to bury it."

The injured Dalton raised his eyebrows. The pirates were expelled, and he returned to his previous appearance.

"Are you sure you don't want it? His head is very valuable."

Li Ming suddenly remembered that there was a bounty on Walder's head, and it contained a full 1.7 million Baileys.

Of course, according to the rules, pirates captured alive can get the full bounty, but if they are killed, the bounty is only 70%.

But that's still 1.2 million Baileys.

1,200,000 Baileys...

1.2 million

Thinking of this, Li Ming stopped talking immediately, and looked at Ward's soulless body, which seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.

This is indeed the color of harvest.

"What I mean is that we can move him further away first, at least so that we don't stay with the corpse."

As he spoke, Li Ming patiently pulled Walder's body aside and never mentioned the matter of Shen Hai.

Dalton is the wounded, and the rest are old men. The only one he can control here is himself.

When his hands touched the cold corpse, he thought he would be disgusted and even thought that he might vomit. But in fact, Li Ming just felt a little dirty and did not feel too uncomfortable.

"Maybe those novels in my previous life were all lies."

He didn't think much about it.

After disposing of the body, he washed his hands twice with soap, and then returned to the crowd under Dalton's teasing gaze.

"Boy Li Ming, sit over here."

"Me?"

Li Ming was a little surprised when he heard the old people calling, but he still obeyed and sat among the old people.

"Boy, do you have any plans for the future?"

Perhaps it is a common characteristic of the old people. When they are free, they always like to provide some life guidance to the younger generations, but Li Ming does not dislike this either.

"If I have any plans, I actually don't have any plans. Let's just take it one step at a time."

The old people showed Li Ming's familiar smiles.

"Ah, ever since you came to the island in trouble half a year ago, I have felt that your temperament is unusual."

"Yes, yes, I feel the same way. He looks like a well-educated man."

"Hey, the last few times when merchant ships docked for supplies, this guy was the one who helped the town settle the accounts. This calculation is shocking. We have undercharged a lot of money before."

"Those ship dealers are all profiteers. What's the point of asking them to help us settle our accounts? We are the most caring people."

"And last time..."

Seven or eight old men talked here and there, recounting all the trivial things Li Ming had done in the past six months, and in just a few words they praised Li Ming to the heavens.

At first, Li Ming could bear it, but the old people praised him more and more, and even Li Ming became a little embarrassed.

"Well, don't say that. When I first came here, I was all taken care of by you. These are what I should do. If there is anything I can do to help in the future, just ask me."

Li Ming quickly interrupted them. Dalton looked at him outside the crowd with a half-smile, which made him feel numb.

Is there a conspiracy?

I did make some contributions in the village, but they were nothing troublesome.

It is actually the people in this world whose cultural level is so low that they appear to be somewhat capable.

But it's not like he's been praised so highly.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Ming's promise, Dalton's smile became even brighter, and old fisherman Maude patted him on the shoulder happily, with an expression of "I'm just waiting for your words."

He was the one who praised me the most just now.

"With your words, we feel relieved."

"Now that things have happened, we really have something to ask of you."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, suddenly wondering if he had been praised a little too much...

It is indeed a bunch of old fried dough sticks.

However, Li Ming did not refuse. In the future, he would need more help from the town to enclose his land, and it would also be a good thing to have more human connections.

"Then just say it."

Li Ming smiled politely, and his elegant and easy-going temperament made them feel good about him unconsciously.

"What would you think if you were asked to be the mayor?"

"Um?"

Before Li Ming could even react to what was going on, the system's ding-dong-ding beeps rang in his mind.

As soon as the prompt sounded, Li Ming had no time to take a closer look at what the system was doing, so he quickly got out of the system. His face turned strangely rosy, and his head felt dizzy.

Li Ming wanted to dig his head out.

The voice of the system rang directly from his mind, and a wave of information bombarded him in a short period of time, completely confusing Li Ming.

"Look, Li Ming is so excited that his face is red."

"I was so overwhelmed by the good news."

"It's okay, it's just human nature."

"In that case, let's just settle this matter."

With that said, several old men slapped their knees and settled the matter.

Only Li Ming, who was dizzy, still didn't understand what happened.

After resting for a while, Li Ming was freed from the bombardment of information.

The old men had dispersed, and only the injured Dalton was left sitting quietly on a small mound of dirt nearby, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Is this your fault?"
