Chapter 36 "Sniper Island" Survivors

  "This is the fourth item of the day! Fifty young and robust men and women from the Great Voyage who were destroyed on Sniper Island!" Malinda exclaimed.

  "Look at them, their piercing and sharp eyes are like those of an eagle..."

  "It doesn't show at all~" said the woman with green wavy hair in the front row faintly.

  Marlin heard the sentence clearly, and when she saw that the person who made the sound was someone she couldn't afford to offend, she immediately didn't dare say anything more. She continued with a forced tone: "That's right, they are the legendary Sniping Island survivors. Just look at their eyes and you'll know, they possess the world's strongest sniping talent. A hundred years ago, there was even a Sniping King with a bounty of 1 billion Berries! If you bring them back home and equip them with guns, you can form an unbeatable sniping squad. Today, fifty survivors from Sniping Island are being sold off together, starting price is 1 million!"

  "What!?! You want one million for these scrawny things?!" The chubby noble below, who had originally intended to buy them to manage the estate, was instantly dissatisfied with the price and covered his nose in disgust, saying: "Don't even bring out this kind of merchandise, take them away quickly, the stench has already spread over here!"

  "Yes, what sniper king, I've never even heard of it."

  "Is there really a place like Sniper Island on the Great Voyage? Why has it never been reported?"

  Malinda gradually felt something was wrong and hesitated, saying: "This..."

  "What! An auction selling such cheap goods? If it weren't for the fact that the Great Passage's slave auctions are relatively far from the four seas, we wouldn't have come here!"

  "Alright, let's get started with today's finale!"

  More and more voices of discontent, Malinda's face has already begun to regret, a gloomy and uncertain atmosphere.

  That Sniper Island and Sniper King, of course, are lies she told in order to sell these fifty people.

  These fifty people were just the survivors found by human traffickers on an uninhabited island in the North Sea, and she bought them all for 500,000 Beris. The human trafficker said that their accuracy in losing things was very high, and Marlin had this idea as soon as she looked into their eyes.

  Unexpectedly, she ended up getting caught out by her own cleverness, and Lord Monet below was also watching.

  If this goes on, the auction will definitely be a failure!

  Am I, Malinda, going to become a pitiful woman who sells cheap information and has to accompany men to bed again?

  "Still think you're clever, but it seems you're still not suitable after all..." The green-haired woman said with a playful tone.

  This sound made Malinda's whole person fall into an ice cellar, she had already thought of being swept away by the Duval family and some scenes that were about to face.

  But just as she was about to give up, a voice suddenly echoed from under the stage.

  "30 million!"

  The sound fell, and this sound was the voice of God to Malinda. At this moment, she was stunned. The green-haired wave also looked at the owner of the sound in surprise.

  A noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent.

  "Hey, are you crazy?" Luo also stunned, couldn't help but say to the person beside him.

  The voice that spoke was none other than Hobodi.

  Hobbit chuckled and shook his head: "No, I'm not crazy."

  "Why spend 30 million Beri to buy it, they don't even have anyone who wants it! Do you really think they're survivors of the Sniper Island? The woman for 1 million might even thank you for solving her problem... Oh, right..." Luo suddenly remembered what Hopodi said before about not paying money and immediately relaxed.

  Is this a joke? How boring.

  "Sir, you...you really are willing to pay 30 million Beri for the fifty survivors from Sniper Island?" Marined asked again, still somewhat disbelieving.

  "That's right!"

  "That... may I be so bold as to ask, since the amount is quite large, could you let me confirm the Barys you're carrying?" Marlinde hesitated for a moment, her face slightly embarrassed. After all, this man had helped her out of an awkward situation, and she felt it wasn't quite right to say something like that, but with such a large amount involved, she was also afraid he might be joking with her, so she asked again to confirm.

  Hopody stood up, pulled out a huge bag marked "" from his position, and threw it directly onto the stage. The bag fell to the back of the stage and scattered open, with some glittering gold coins rolling all over the stage.

  "Actually, it's really... " Malinda said dully, her face already unable to contain her wild joy.

  At this moment, she only felt that she was being hugged by heaven, what a huge profit! 500,000 acquisition, 300 million sold out, a total of 295 million in profit, after deducting the taxes paid to the Don Quixote family, she could at least harvest 100 million Bellis.

  My goodness, 100 million belly is what concept? This has already been enough for her to auction off two or three years of savings!

  Marinda was too excited, her eyes were now filled with these sparkling and lovely gold coins, so much that Hobodi stood up, she still hadn't noticed the familiar mask on his face...

  Only the woman in the first row with a green wavy scarf glanced at Hobodi, revealing an intriguing expression on her face, and muttered an almost inaudible "I see..."

  The fourth item is touted as "from 50 survivors of Sniper Island", who knows if it's true or not, but apparently that's how they're selling it.

  Finally, with a price of 30 million Bellis, the stage was struck with a single hammer.

  The auction hall erupted in a mixture of laughter and ridicule, with some nobles looking at Hobodi with obvious disdain and mockery, their expressions seeming to say "you're an idiot". But others were filled with doubt, could it be that those 50 scrawny natives really possessed exceptional marksmanship skills from the legendary Sniper's Island?

  As for those abductees, the golden pupils of their eyes flickered with a hint of fear as they gazed at the masked man who was willing to pay the price.

  They can already imagine that when they get their master at a sky-high price and find out that these people are not the legendary snipers of the island, they will definitely be furious. The anger will vent on them, just like those old and young companions who originally lived on the island were considered worthless by outsiders, and the final outcome was to be slaughtered.

  They have no expectation for survival anymore.

  "Hey, you never told me you had so much money, and you actually paid for those refugees." Luo couldn't quite understand the man in front of him. He thought everything he said was just nonsense lies, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case after all.

  Truth and falsehood were mixed together, making it difficult for him to distinguish between them.

  "This money? Actually, you also have a share of credit for this." Hobodi laughed.

  "What merit of mine?"

  "Hmm, all of these were plundered from the forces on Swan Island, including the funds for your hospital."

  Lu heard such an arrogant remark and suddenly his forehead bulged with anger: "You bastard..."

  Hobbit chuckled and stopped teasing Luo, then explained: "Alright, actually this 300 million is just what the Don Quixote family got from the Seagull Island Exchange, I still have a lot of funds on me. Let's keep watching the auction, if it's beneficial to our alliance needs, I'll also bid!"

  At this point, Hoboldi thought to himself that the money was looted anyway. The identity of "King" would soon be notorious and carrying a bag of gold coins everywhere was cumbersome, so it's better to spend them all.

  Then Hobbit's gaze turned to the back of those fifty survivors, and his face was thoughtful.

  The reason he took down these people was that he didn't believe in anything like Sniping Island, but what Marlin said about sniping talent, Hobodi really saw the possibility from those people's eyes.

  Those fifty people's eyeballs were obviously different from humans, and the conical shape was almost identical to the compound eyes of flies in the textbooks of previous lives.

  If their eyes truly have compound eye functionality like flies, then it represents that they observe the airflow in the world several times slower than ordinary human eyes.

  In that case, as Malindy said, they may indeed possess the world's strongest sniping talent!

  No, and also has a perfect "premonition" of the opponent's fighting moves.

  The emergence of such an excellent soldier was absolutely unexpected before he came to Beihai.
