"?!"
A chill ran down the cat's back for no apparent reason.
"You said you licked the magic power inside that body bag?"
"Y-yeah...that's it?"
"Besides magic, what else is there?"
"In your terms, a little water, and an electrolyte with a molecular weight of about 58."
Xia Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Then...is there an organic compound with a molecular weight of 60 and a very simple structure?"
Xiu Ji thought for a while and denied: "...No."
Xia Ye stared at it for a while, and finally let out a soft "hum": "I'll let you go this time."
Although it was a bit inexplicable from beginning to end, Xiuji could vaguely feel that the crisis just passed him by...
"What about this barrel? Besides magic power, what else did you lick?" Xia Ye's attention returned to his eyes.
"An organic substance, an organic substance with a large molecular weight."
"grease……"
Hearing Xiuji's answer, Xia Ye couldn't help but whisper.
If there really was grease and magic on the barrel. Then it is most likely whale oil. If it is really whale oil, it means that Yaha did not lie. She really encountered and injured the beluga.
According to the story Yaha just told, she commanded the whaling ship to rush very close to the beluga, and hit a shot - unfortunately it was not fatal, but the ship was destroyed by the other party.
Xia Ye could imagine that perhaps at that time, the whale oil evaporated from the wound dispersed in the surrounding air, and then a very small amount condensed on the barrel.
Therefore, the magic power that Xiuji discovered on the whaling cannon should be regarded as evidence for Yahab's story?
After understanding this point, Xia Ye had basically made a decision in her heart, but she still needed to simply calculate how much magic she could earn by investing in Yaha.
The whaling ship Yaha destroyed was worth 8,000 moles. Since she was the captain and was still alive, all compensation would be borne by her first according to the principle of step-by-step recourse.
After deducting the 400 moles from the charter deposit, there are still 7,600 moles left.
"Yuan Ship Rental" sold Yaha's property (including Momo) and obtained 600 moles.
In other words, Yahab's debt was still as high as 7,000 moles.
According to Yaha, if you successfully hunt a whale, you can earn about 20,000 moles. The captain can get 40% of it, the first mate and the second mate each have 10%, and the remaining 40% will be shared by 6-7 crew members. carve up.
In other words, as long as Yaha can successfully catch a whale next time, she will not only be able to pay off her current debt, but also have 1,000 moles left.
But if it was just like this, Xia Ye would not invest in her. A mere 1,000 moles was not worth the risk she took.
What she hoped for was that Yaha could hunt the white whale.
According to Yaha, the white whale was 4-5 times the size of an ordinary whale. To be conservative, based on the 4 times calculation, if you successfully hunt it, you can get 80,000 moles, and as the captain, Yaha can get 32,000 moles. Even if you pay off the debt, there will still be 25,000 moles left.
And this is just a single benefit.
Xia Ye thought that what Yaha said was very reasonable, "If I successfully hunt that white whale, the entire lower city will talk about my feat."
As Yaha said, if she really succeeds, she will gain not only Moir, but also fame. More people will find her and hope to cooperate with her in hunting whales. In the long run, this benefit will be great. will be far greater than the benefits gained from hunting the beluga itself.
Similarly, only by adding up the single actual return and the long-term implicit return can Xia Ye make this investment worth it.
After all, if she doesn't invest in Yaha, there is still a way out - just as calculated before, if she does a commissioned task every day and earns an average of 222 moles a day, she can just pay off the overdraft before the deadline.
If she invested in Yaha, this would probably mean that she would have to use the remaining overdraft of more than 3,000 yuan. Then, if it failed, she would not be able to repay such a large amount anyway.
It can be said that Xia Ye is using his own life to make this investment, so he has to be cautious.
But even so, she still chose the latter——
Because she wanted to get a big one.
Because she is the kind of person who will take a shortcut if there is one.
Working honestly to pay back the money is not her style at all.
When Xia Ye left the whaling ship and walked in front of Yahab again, there was no longer any hesitation in his heart.
But the first words she spoke were not to Jahab.
"Luca, according to the Debt Code, if a debtor is unable to repay her debt when it falls due, can her debt be extended through a third party's guarantee?"
Luka glanced at Xia Ye in surprise: "That's true. I didn't expect you to be quite familiar with the "Debt Code."
Xia Ye was not familiar with it at all, but based on her experience in the world before she traveled, she guessed that there would be similar routines in Debso Tower.
After all, who doesn’t like a guarantee? Whether to the debtor or the creditor, those who are willing to provide guarantees are like cute little angels.
"Tell me about the specific requirements." Xia Ye said.
Luka was obviously familiar with the Debt Code. She blurted out: "According to Articles 3 and 4 of Chapter 5 of the Debt Code, if there is a third-party guarantor who voluntarily provides guarantee for the debtor, the debt will be owed." The debtor has the right to extend the due debt, but the extension period cannot exceed 30 natural days, and the guarantor must pay a deposit of no less than 50% of the total debt to the creditor."
Yaha owes 7,000 moles, 50%, which is 3,500 moles. And my current overdraft limit is 6030 moles (the original overdraft was 6027 moles. Today, it costs 2 moles to entrust Xiuji to fight and 1 moles to entrust it to investigate clues, so it has increased to 6030 moles), and the remaining overdraft limit is 3970 moles. you.
Just enough to provide guarantee for Yaha, and even 470 moles left for other things.
"What if the debtor is still unable to repay the debt after the extension period expires?" Xia Ye continued to ask.
"If this happens, the creditor can first seize the security deposit to pay off part of the debt, and the remaining part can be pursued first from the guarantor. If the guarantor refuses to repay, it can be pursued from the debtor."
"I understand, thank you." Xia Ye nodded towards Luka, then looked at Yaha.
At this moment, her face suddenly changed back to its original appearance.
"Captain Yaha." She asked solemnly: "If I provide you with a guarantee and extend your debt so that you can go to sea again, are you sure that you can kill the white whale this time?"
Yaha looked at her in disbelief. After a while, he uttered:
"Are you crazy? Or are you kidding me?"
"Crazy." Xia Ye replied.
"..."
Yaha continued to look at Xia Ye, and for a long time, she suddenly laughed out loud: "I see, do you really believe that I can kill that white whale next time?"
"That's right."
"Why? No one believes my nonsense! Even the etheric sea research scholars sent by 'Ocean Ship Charter' don't believe it. Why do you believe me?"
"I have my basis." Xia Ye said calmly.
Yaha's grin widened: "Since you are willing to be taken advantage of and provide me with a guarantee, why don't I agree? Are you sure I can kill the white whale this time? Of course I will say 'sure' ', after all, it's better to die than to live... Uh, wait, if I promise you, but then fail to do it, what are you going to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a smile on Xia Ye's beautiful face, as if saying to her - you finally thought of this problem.
Then, she heard Xia Ye say:
"I will board your ship and enter the etheric sea with you. But I will not do anything to help you hunt whales. I will watch indifferently until the life-and-death duel between you and the white whale comes to an end.
“If you succeed in killing it, I will follow you back to Debso Tower, and when the whale turns into a Maul, I will take my share.
"If you fail, and unfortunately you are not killed by the whale. Then I will kill you, and everyone on the ship, and take your magic, cup, and contract. I believe that together, It should be worth the security deposit I paid for you.”
