Pirate Traveling Merchant

After five days of sailing, Nolan's ship finally arrived at Thalia Island.

Looking at Thalia Island from a distance, there are many very tall buildings on the island, which are very different from the medieval low buildings on other islands. There are many tall buildings here, as if it is a future city.

After arriving at the pier, passengers on the ship will be deeply impressed by the high-standard architecture here and be shocked speechless.

People who come here feel as if they have entered the future world. There are automatic conveyor belts for goods and streets made of cement. Everywhere here has an artificial smell. Only the vegetation scattered in the city can make it feel... You feel the breath of nature.

After Nolan got off the boat, he held his hat and looked at the huge dock building door in wonder, and exclaimed: "Wow, it's really tall."

"Ah, by the way, we have to deliver the goods." Nolan remembered that he came here with a mission. After searching for a while, Nolan found the piece of paper with the consignee's address written on it.

Nolan squinted at the words on the note, from the enthusiastic man, Hoh Xil is waiting for you there. Although Nolan knew every word on it, when he put it together, he really didn't understand what the passage was about. There is a message about the address somewhere.

Although this is the case, no matter what, at least we can know that the consignee should be a person named Hoh Xil.

Since this person dares to write like this, he should be a well-known person in Thalia City. In any case, go find someone and ask first.Nolan thought so, then walked out of the pier and walked towards the city.

The merchant who had entrusted Nolan to help bring the goods stood at the pier with an anxious look on his face, looking in the direction of Thalia Island, and shouted: "I'm sorry, my benefactor, I brought you the wrong one, here it is." The content on the note is that only people who are familiar with it will know who it is and where to find that person. No matter what, I hope you will always find it, please."

Naturally, Nolan couldn't receive the businessman's message from thousands of miles away.After asking several people, Nolan finally found out that Hoh Xil was not a famous person in Thalia City at all, and no one knew him at all.

After understanding this situation, the black line on Nolan's forehead suddenly came down. Looking at the goods in his hand, Nolan felt that it was so hot.

Nolan suddenly felt that he was so stupid. Why didn't he confirm the contents of the note on the spot when he got it? Now he didn't have a phone bug, let alone the businessman's phone number, and was in the awkward position of completely finding the consignee.

In such a situation, most people would choose to give up the express delivery or return it, but Nolan is different. He has a personal principle, that is, he must do what he promised, even if there is no information at all. , Nolan also decided to find the consignee.

Nolan picked up the paper again and read it. The last sentence revealed that the consignee's name was Hoh Xil, and the previous sentence reflected from the side that the consignee was a very lively person. Beautiful packaging of the goods.

Nolan judged that the consignee was a rich and enthusiastic Silly Que. Why Silly Que? Because he would use such language to describe his address. If not Silly Que, what else could he be?

After putting the goods into his fruit power pocket, Nolan decided to find a place to live and have a meal first.

After drinking and eating, Nolan walked out of the restaurant with a big belly.Picking his teeth with a toothpick, Nolan walked while thinking about how to find the recipient.

The only useful information at hand now is the name of the consignee, and that the consignee is an enthusiastic person. Speaking of enthusiasm, and this is a trading city, the first thing Nolan thinks of is a banquet or party. This is the favorite activity of businessmen, or enthusiastic businessmen.

Now that you have an idea, let’s start looking for places that are hosting banquets and parties.

Nolan didn't walk long before he saw a very gorgeous building. "Oh, what is that?" Nolan was curious and hurried forward. Why was Nolan so curious? That's because this building is so gorgeous. It is the most gorgeous thing Nolan has seen since he came to this island. .

There must be a different reason for such a building that is obviously different from other places.

After walking in, Nolan couldn't help but sigh. "Wow..." Nolan raised his head, looking at the building with surprised eyes like a countryman entering the city.This building is all white, with golden decorations on it. Looking at the whole building, it gives people a very rich feeling.

Nolan approached the building and clasped the golden decoration on it with his hands.

"Oh, it turns out it's just golden tiles and paint." Nolan poked his hand with some regret. He was still imagining that these golden decorations should be made of gold.

"Haha, look what that person is doing"

"Hmm what"

"Hahaha, he doesn't really think those things are gold, does he?"

"This is too funny, hahahaha."

...........

Nolan's behavior immediately attracted ridicule from the people around him. However, for Nolan, who had developed a thick skin as thick as the Great Wall, such ridicule was like a breeze, blowing across his face without any lethality at all.Nolan has such a thick skin, thanks to Long Yi, in order to make his life better.Nolan could only be shameless and use various methods to please Long Yi, so that when Long Yi was in a good mood, Nolan's training volume would be reduced.

Nolan shrugged indifferently and looked towards the front of the building.What comes into view is a magnificent street with various high-end shops.Everyone walking here looks rich or noble.Naturally, the products here are also very diverse and top-notch.

Seeing this, Nolan's eyes lit up immediately.Now that he is a businessman, his favorite thing to do is to go shopping. This way he can not only see how others charge prices, but also determine what he can buy.

Nolan happily walked in humming a song. After entering the street, Nolan felt the rich atmosphere here even more.Feeling the smell of wealth, he couldn't help but shudder.

Pulling himself together, Nolan began to observe the products placed on the windows of various stores.The products on the display window were all very exquisite. The more Nolan looked at them, the more he liked them. His eyes almost turned into the shape of coins, and his saliva flowed down unconsciously.

"Suck..." Nolan wiped his hair and walked towards a store he liked.Nolan, who originally wanted to go in and inquire, suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw the price under the product when he passed by the display window.

"What?" Nolan exclaimed, then lay on the glass and counted the numbers on the price list with his eyes. "One zero, two zeros, three zeros... Oh my god, this pocket watch actually costs 15 Baileys"

Yes, Nolan is interested in a shop that sells watches.When Nolan looked at these exquisite pocket watches from a distance, he wanted to buy a few and sell them at a high price elsewhere.But after confirming the price above, Nolan began to doubt his life.

Nolan, who did not believe in evil, looked at other pocket watches to confirm their prices.However, reality hit him again. Although other pocket watches were also cheap, the lowest one cost 8 Baileys.

The clerk in the pocket watch shop also noticed Nolan leaning on the glass looking at the watch. He walked out enthusiastically and wanted to introduce Nolan.However, when the clerk just walked out of the store, Nolan quickly left in the opposite direction as if he had seen a ghost, leaving the clerk standing awkwardly at the door.

Nolan naturally noticed the clerk's actions.Nolan knew that he couldn't afford to buy the goods here now. Although he could buy one or two, after buying them, he really had nothing to lose and no money at all.In order not to be embarrassed, Nolan decisively chose to run away.

Half an hour has passed...

Nolan squatted in a corner at the intersection of the street, looking ahead frustratedly.In this half hour, Nolan walked around this street. The prices here severely hit Nolan.

"Oh, what kind of world is this? Why is everything so expensive?" Nolan lamented.

"Young man, what's wrong with you?" Just as Nolan was lamenting, a voice suddenly sounded.

Nolan looked at the source of the voice in confusion. The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a boring red suit.The middle-aged man walked towards Nolan enthusiastically, squatted down and looked at Nolan.

"Uh..." Nolan didn't know how to react for a moment. The middle-aged man's behavior was too sudden.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man patted Nolan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, young man. You are still young. One failure doesn't mean anything. There is no need to be so discouraged."

Nolan was immediately told that he was confused. When did he fail?

Before Nolan could come to his senses, the middle-aged man continued to encourage him: "When I was young, I experienced several failures, but I was not discouraged every time. I still persisted in my ideals. , for that ideal, I still grit my teeth and persevere.”

"Although this process will be very painful, I still persevered. So far, I have completed my original ideal. And it is even better than what I originally imagined."

Looking at the middle-aged man who kept talking, Nolan finally came to his senses. He interrupted the middle-aged man and said, "That's not what you think."

"Young man, I know you don't want to admit the fact of failure yet. I was the same way when I failed for the first time, but as someone who has experienced it, I still want to tell you that it is not a shameful thing to admit failure. "The middle-aged man looked at Nolan with bright eyes.

Nolan was stunned by his eyes and didn't know what to say.

Then, the middle-aged man continued to tell the story of his previous failures and some of his experiences on how to get out of the predicament.

As the middle-aged man narrated, nearly an hour passed unknowingly.The middle-aged man's speech was really contagious, and Nolan was immersed in it unknowingly.

"Ah, no." After listening for more than an hour, Nolan finally came to his senses. Although the things the middle-aged man told him, Nolan learned something.However, Nolan felt that he still needed to clarify.

When the middle-aged man finished telling a story and stopped to rest, Nolan weakly raised his hand and said: "Well, I am really not in the situation you think, but... ..."
