Chapter 40 The Gift of Destiny
"Why does it sound like the hero of a famous ghost story..."
Looking at the description of the first legendary level on the panel, Adrian's mood was inexplicably subtle.
In a sense, "legendary" can be equated with "codename".
In other words, if he doesn't do anything else impressive in the future, in the eyes of other people in the pirate world, Adrian's "nickname" on the road will basically be "White Ghost".
This nickname...
To be honest, there is really no level.
But there was no way, the system gave it to Adrian, and he had no choice.
[White Ghost] is at least better than titles like "White Ghost" and "White Death".
Adrian looked at the panel again.
Put aside the devil fruit rewards and legendary level.
In terms of experience points, in addition to the experience rewards at the end of the mission, the Capone gang, from the underworld godfather to the gang members, have used their lives to provide a lot of experience reward rewards. In particular, killing Capone Becky and Capone Bell falls into the category of leapfrog kills, and the experience value rewards are sky-high.
Without thinking too much, Adrian invested all the experience points he gained into upgrading, raising the level of [Formal Swordsman] to LV16. At the same time, his total level reached LV36, not far from level 40.
Then all the free attribute points obtained from upgrades and mission rewards are invested in intelligence. At this time, his intelligence attribute is as high as 300, which is higher than the other five attributes combined.
After completing the task settlement, Mrs. Penelope should be informed of the specific news.
Thinking of Capone Becky's words before his death, Adrian couldn't help but sigh and disappeared from the place.
After a while.
Adrian came to the safe house where the mother and daughter had been housed and knocked politely on the door.
"Madam, it's me, Adrian. Is it convenient to go in now?"
Mrs. Penelope, who was highly nervous in the room, immediately relaxed after hearing the familiar voice.
She introduced Adrian into the room and asked with concern: "Mr. Adrian, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, madam." Adrian shook his head first, and then said in a low tone, "I got some bad news here about Captain Crevat."
Lady Penelope's heart suddenly sank.
"The news that Capone Becky—the son of the leader of the Capone gang—told me after the defeat," Adrian whispered, "He said that your husband has unfortunately passed away."
Even though she had been mentally prepared, Mrs. Penelope still felt an extremely strong sense of dizziness.
She closed her eyes tightly, held her forehead with one hand, and touched the chair tremblingly with the other hand to sit down, her chest rising and falling violently.
Adrian silently poured Lady Penelope a cup of hot tea.
Before he could open his mouth to comfort her, Lady Penelope had already opened her eyes. She was not crying or tearing, but her eyes were red.
Unexpectedly, when faced with the news of her husband's unexpected death, this weak-looking lady showed extraordinary tenacity.
"Thank you for your information, Mr. Adrian."
Seeing this, Adrian changed his original mind. In any case, he should not continue to say comforting words at this time.
Adrian changed the topic and said: "Madam, I plan to stay on Otterfe Island for a few more days. I wonder what your plans are?"
"Me?" Mrs. Penelope smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.
Adrian asked: "Do you have any acquaintances or relatives in Xihai?"
"I only know that Crevat——" Mrs. Penelope paused slightly, but finally said it smoothly, "he has a distant nephew who also works at the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce."
"How is your relationship with that distant relative?" Adrian's words revealed a hint of solicitation.
Mrs. Penelope said truthfully: "The relationship is not too close, but at least he knows the basics. He is a very reliable young man."
"It's like this. The Capone gang has been completely destroyed. After I clean up the remaining gang forces on Ottefe Island, the Capone gang will also be completely relegated to history." Adrian told the whole story about his plan, "If you know If my nephew is reliable enough, I wonder if he can leave the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce and come to help me?”
That’s right!
Adrian is ready to form a force!
When he was trading with closed beta players in the Kingdom of Flowers, he realized a very important thing.
In the future public beta period, although Adrian can play roles such as "professional mentor" and "novice instructor", he does not have enough "items" that can be used for players to trade.
Muskets, gunpowder, weapons, medicines...
Almost all of these things are completely useless to Adrian, but are extremely needed by low-level players!
Even if Adrian obtains these things, it won't take much effort, but the time and energy involved are so staggering that it's not worth the gain.
In this case, why not find a suitable candidate to help Adrian form a force?
It happened that the Capone gang had been destroyed. Standing on the corpse of the Capone gang, the new force could instantly establish its reputation in the West China Sea.
If possible, Adrian could also let his subordinates specialize in developing item trade with players, freeing himself from cumbersome transactions.
Mrs. Penelope was silent for a while and then said: "I wonder what you are going to do, Mr. Adrian?"
"Hmm..." Adrian touched his chin, "Open a trading company?"
……
Five days later.
Tommy, who was tired of traveling, took a merchant ship of the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce and came to Otephi Island.
Tommy felt both excited and longing for this "gangster island" that was unknown and unknown to everyone in the West Sea underground society.
Nowadays, who in the West China Sea doesn’t know that the famous Capone gang was wiped out in one day and completely turned into history because it provoked a terrible enemy that cannot be provoked?
Tommy had no idea that a little guy like himself could be favored by such a legendary figure!
Although it is because of the influence of distant relatives...
About half an hour later.
Tommy came to an unassuming two-story building. In the living room of the building, he finally met the legendary--His Excellency White Ghost!
Adrian took a rough look at the young man wearing a tweed coat and a newsboy cap, who was shaking with excitement, and nodded slightly in his heart. At least the image issue was over.
"Your name?"
"Tommy, Tommy Shelby, Your Excellency."
Adrian raised an eyebrow, "You have a very interesting name, Tommy."
"Yes, really?" Tommy Shelby replied stammering, his face turning red.
"I believe in friendship, and I am willing to express my friendship first." Adrian smiled slightly and got straight to the point, "Tommy, are you willing to leave the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce and do things for me and yourself?"
"Very willing! Your Excellency!" Tommy Shelby nodded immediately and replied loudly.
Isn't it just for this matter that he came to Otephi Island specially?
After a moment, Tommy lowered his head again and shouted awkwardly: "Father!"
Adrian smiled, "No, you don't need to be like this, Tommy, I didn't invite you from Mrs. Penelope specifically to set up a gang. I'm going to set up a company, a legal trading company, no. Do you know that you are still willing to help me? ”
Young Tommy Shelby raised his head in confusion, "Sir, are you planning to open a trading company?"
"Yes," Adrian nodded, "It will have nothing to do with me, at least on the surface. I'm going to name it 'Shelby Company', what do you think?"
< br>
"I think..." Tommy Shelby's eyes sparkled with an extremely brilliant light, "It's simply awesome!"
"Of course, in the process of company development, sometimes it is inevitable to use some violent methods." Adrian added, "There is no way, the cruel sea always destroys the noble character of businessmen."
Tommy Shelby was thinking quickly and his tone gradually became excited, "So, we still need a little help from the underworld."
Adrian smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, do you think 'Razor Party' would be a qualified gang name?"
Thank you very much to the reader "Yang Fanfan" for the 100 starting coin reward!
There are forty chapters, and the manuscript has been completely exhausted...
Fortunately, a recommendation came, but this was the first time I encountered a recommendation that came at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night... Tommy Shelby, from "Peaky Blinders", leaving aside the plot, he was very impressed with the Taoism, film and television atmosphere, and actors The looks are indeed impressive!
