Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"I know, let him come, he can add some fun." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Everything has its own use, even liars."

He knew that many of Captain Jack's stories were fabricated, but it didn't matter, even if they were fabricated stories, they had their prototypes and reference value.

And he liked Jack Sparrow, even if he didn't tell stories, but just came to drink, he was very welcome.

"Boss, he drank a lot of our good wine~" Ryan Thomson said dissatisfiedly.

Jack Sparrow was an alcoholic, and he would drink endlessly every time he came. The most he drank was a whole barrel of wine, which was worth five pounds of good wine, which really made him feel distressed.

"Don't worry about it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

The treasure he got from his two adventures alone was worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Even the King of England might not be as rich as him, so he didn't care about a barrel of wine worth five pounds.

"Old friend, I'm here to see you again." At this time, Captain Jack pushed the door and walked in, "You must not have thought about what news I heard today."

"What news did you hear?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

Ryan Thomson saw Captain Jack, but he looked disgusted.

"Give me a bottle of rum first, wait for me to moisten my throat, and then tell you in detail." Captain Jack said immediately.

"Go, get the wine~" Xiang Nan also ordered Ryan immediately.

Ryan did not dare to disobey Xiang Nan, so he had to take the wine reluctantly.

"Come on, please." Xiang Nan handed it to Captain Jack and said.

Captain Jack took the bottle, opened it directly and drank it.

Xiang Nan was not in a hurry. After he finished drinking, he smiled and asked, "So, what news did you hear today?"

"I heard that cannibals appeared on the islands in the south, and they would hunt merchant ships passing nearby." Captain Jack said immediately.

"You use this kind of news to cheat for wine?! Everyone on the island has known it for a long time!!" Ryan was furious when he heard it, "Boss, I said he is a liar and a rogue. We should not receive him next time."

The news that Captain Jack just said is not a big news at all. The news that there are cannibals on the southern islands is known to everyone living in Port Tetuga.

It is really unreasonable for Jack to use this well-known news to disguise it as a big news to cheat for wine.

...

Captain Jack was exposed by Ryan in person, although he has always been thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed at this time.

But this can't be blamed entirely on him. He can't live without wine for a day, and he wants to drink rum as water. But with his meager income, he can't support his consumption at all, so he can only come to Xiang Nan and exchange his previous adventure stories for wine.

But the story will always be finished one day. He is a pirate, not a writer, and it is impossible for him to make up so many new stories. So when he has no stories to tell, he can only use some well-known news to cheat for wine.

"Shut up, go down." Xiang Nan waved his hand at him, and then looked at Captain Jack.

Captain Jack grinned, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

In fact, he was not a thin-skinned person. Even if he lied to someone in person, he would not feel embarrassed. He would just think of another lie.

But in front of Xiang Nan, he blushed a little.

This was probably because Xiang Nan was too good to him.

Most of the people he met in his life were not easy to get along with. Either they calculated him, or he calculated others. In short, there was always intrigue and fighting.

This was no wonder, because he had lived in a pirate's nest since he was a child, just like Xiaoyuer who had lived in the Valley of Evil since he was a child. He was close to the red and the black, so he was naturally a little careless and cynical.

But only Xiang Nan had always been good to him, very generous, very friendly, and had no intention of cheating him at all. So Captain Jack was grateful to Xiang Nan, and naturally he was not too rogue.

...

"Jack, don't apologize, I understand." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "But it's not a good idea for you to always cheat for wine like this. I know you are actually very ambitious and want to take back the Black Pearl and get rid of Barbossa to avenge yourself.

But if you are so lazy all day, let alone buy a ship and hire a group of people to go on adventures with you? It's not easy for you to even support yourself, so when can you fulfill your wish?"

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Captain Jack's face gradually became stiff and his eyes became solemn.

Yes, after he was betrayed by the crew of the Black Pearl, he always wanted to take back the Black Pearl and kill Barbossa to avenge himself.

But this dream has been delayed.

Because it costs at least one thousand pounds to buy a medium-sized sailing ship. Add thirty cannons, and it will cost another two thousand pounds. Adding logistics supplies, at least two or three hundred pounds.

So his starting capital for revenge is three or four thousand pounds. Now Captain Jack is working odd jobs in Tetuga, relying on his smooth talk and cheating to make a living. He can earn a few pounds a day, but if he is unlucky, he may even go hungry.

Moreover, he loves alcohol, and drinking alone almost bankrupts him. So although he has been trying hard to save money in the past two years, he can't even make enough money to live, let alone save enough money to buy a boat.

Therefore, although he looks happy every day, he is actually very worried in his heart. However, no matter how anxious he is, he can't think of anything. After all, he can't make money, and he doesn't want to ask his family for help.

"Let's make a deal." Xiang Nan said, "I know you have a treasure called the 'Wish Compass'. You rent it to me.

The monthly rent is 500 pounds. In this way, in less than half a year, you will have the money to buy a ship and dozens of cannons, and then ride on the ocean again. How about it?"

In fact, it is very easy for him to rob Captain Jack's compass.

Captain Jack's force is not high. He fell several times in the movie and was caught by others.

For example, he was caught by Norrington in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and by Blacksmith Brown; in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", he was caught by cannibals; in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", he was caught by Xiao Feng; in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", he was caught by Blackbeard; in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", he was caught by the sheriff of St. Martin Island...

With Xiang Nan's ability, it is not difficult to rob or steal his compass, but he still hopes to rent it.

After all, he has cheated Captain Jack once and stolen his "charm". It's embarrassing to steal him a second time.

"So you've had ambitions for a long time, and you're so nice to me just for my compass?" Hearing Xiang Nan say this, Captain Jack stood up and said.

"If you don't agree, forget it, let's just be friends, okay?" Xiang Nan saw this and said quickly.

"I mean, you have to pay more!" Captain Jack grinned.
