The capital of the Molai Commercial Federation, Port Molai.

The city is known by many other names, the most well-known of which is the "Golden City".

Gold, the color of gold, the color of wealth.

The city is the most important commercial center in the entire Western Continent, and is the largest and most prosperous commercial city. Its status is roughly equivalent to that of London in the days of the "empire on which the sun never sets" on Earth, or New York shortly after World War II.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that the city is roughly a wide rectangle that runs from north to south. In the southern part of the rectangle, three ports are lined up, and a fourth port is also under construction. Hundreds of ships are constantly coming and going from the various docks, and the sea is thriving like a road.

More than 10 wide roads run through the city, and there are always many convoys flowing on the roads, day or night.

Goods from all over the world are gathered and traded here, massive amounts of money and goods change owners here, countless people gain or lose wealth here, new rich people appear here every year, and old rich people go bankrupt.

Money is the eternal theme of this huge city.

Panda walks along the edge of a wide main road one day and sees a young merchant haggling with a chubby boss over the price of a batch of iron ore. The two sides were foaming at the mouth, constantly pestering on all kinds of issues that he could or couldn't think of.

This is not because they are stingy, but because their business is so large that even one percent of the price is the income of ordinary people for a year or even a few years. They are the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, and even if they make a little more, it will be good for them.

For businessmen, being able to make money is the most important skill. The more a businessman can make money, the more people will be looked up to. In Molai, the idea of "making money is the most glorious" is deeply rooted in the hearts of almost everyone, even if it is a roadside child, asking him what he wants to do in the future, most of them are "wanting to make a lot of money".

In this environment, sellers do their best to raise prices, and buyers try their best to lower prices and refuse to give in to each other, which is like a battlefield battle.

The panda didn't stop, walking and watching, it was really eye-opening.

In Molaiport, in addition to the particularly developed business, there is another unique impression, that is, "fat".

People here are beautiful and proud of being fat. Because they think that clothes can be faked, conversation can be faked, and decorations can be faked, but fat can't be faked. Without affluent living conditions and sufficient income as support, how easy is it to eat oneself fat? Eating oneself fat is the basic privilege of the "rich," and the poor should not think about it.

There are often people on the earth who lament that "drinking water makes you fat", but this is not the case. There is no person in the world who can gain weight without eating, and those who really drink water can also gain weight, which is a disease, called edema. It's just that many people have misunderstandings in their thinking, thinking that eating meat, especially fatty meat, will grow fat, so there are all kinds of misunderstandings.

On behalf of their faction, Panda's elder brother once went to several temples with martial arts traditions to exchange martial arts. He was very surprised to find that those warrior monks who ate meat and practiced martial arts were often not fat, but were great monks who kept the precepts and ate vegetarians, all with fat heads and big ears, just like Maitreya Buddha. For this reason, he specially asked a friend who studied medicine, only to know that the main reason for obesity is carbohydrates, vegetarian people tend to eat more rice because of the lack of satiety brought by fat, and the carbohydrate intake is too much.

Walking and walking, it was almost noon. Panda randomly chose a restaurant and asked the guy to serve a few dishes that could reflect the style of Molai, but after the dishes were served, he tasted each one and couldn't help but laugh.

Sweet, all sweet!

It is said that Molai is a port city, and the recipe should be salty. But the amazing thing is that the specialties here are all sweet, with rare exceptions.

He dragged the guy and asked for a while, only to know that among the 32 dishes that Mo Lai famous, only four were not sweet, and the proportion was less than 15 percent.

"Why do you Molai people like sweets?" he asked curiously.

The guy shook his head: "It's not that we Molai people like sweets, but sweets can reflect Molai's style." ”

"Is there a difference between the two?"

"Of course there is a difference. The man sighed and said, "For example, I can't afford to eat it so sweet!"

The panda couldn't help but laugh: "You are a real person." ”

"The poor have no ability, so they can only be left with reality. The guy said, "If you want to talk about it, you also have to have this confidence." I want to be like you, the guest officer, when I open my mouth to eat Molai's specialties, I must be full of rhetoric. ”

The panda smiled again: "If you have time, you might as well sit down and eat together." ”

"There is a difference between high and low, maybe you don't care, but I do. The guy sighed, "I have to care, do you think that's the truth?"

The panda nodded and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Jack, my name is Jack. ”

With these words, the blue color that symbolizes the character template suddenly appeared above his head.

The panda was slightly stunned and asked, "Do you practice martial arts?"

"A little practice, not very smart. ”

"If the opponent is an ordinary strong man, how many can you fight?"

Jack laughed: "Don't say 'several', one can hit me all over the ground." ”

The panda was even more puzzled and asked, "Have you studied business?"

"Learned a little. ”

"To what extent?"

"General addition and subtraction, as well as simple bookkeeping. Jack replied, "As for the dialects, multiplication and division, budgeting, etc., it costs a lot of money to learn them, and I can't afford to learn them." ”

The panda thought for a while and asked, "If you get rich, what do you want to do?"

"I want to be a captain and sail the fastest ship in the world and venture out on the sea!"

"Adventure? Not business?"

"What's the point of doing business!!'s adventure is fun!" Jack's eyes sparkled, "I want to cross the storm-shrouded sea, go to the east of the world, and see the legendary continent of Dongtu." I want to cross the legendary river that connects the worlds and visit the places where angels and demons live...... I want to find the treasures left behind by the pirates, I want to find the big islands that no one has ever discovered before, and name them after me......! That's for the best!"

The panda nodded, roughly guessing the identity of the other party.

If this Jack is really the "Jack" he suspected, then he will become a great pirate in the future, and the profession of "adventurer" was born from the "pirates" with countless adventures, and he inherited the name of "Pirate King" after Barbarossa's death.

Of course, he prefers the title of "Jack the Pirate King" to "Captain Jack".

[Panda: You may not believe it, but I'm having dinner right now, and the guy who served me food is a legendary powerhouse in the future. What should I do? 】
