The overlord stood up unconvinced, looked at the neckless little fat, and argued, "Why do you say we can't?" And why do you think you can? ”

"Hmph~! Why? The little fat man glanced at everyone: "Are you here with the adult's boat?" ”

"We didn't talk to adults! What's wrong with how many of us are on our ships? The overlord asked disdainfully.

Originally, he thought that this little fat man would definitely admire him, but he didn't expect the little fat man's expression to instantly become more disdainful, and said with a smile: "Hmph~~ So without common sense, he dares to claim to be the most powerful adventurer and pirate king?" Don't you know that when sailing on the seas, a chef is an indispensable member of a team? I don't think you even know how to make instant noodles, right? ”

The little fat man poked the sore spot of several people with one sentence, although the overlord wanted to refute it, but the fact is that it is a miracle that they floated to Skull Island alive! Almost hung on the sea because of a lack of vitamins.

"Humph! Who said we don't know~! We're here to hire a chef for this time! ”

Not to be outdone, the overlord is still hard-mouthed.

The little fat man squinted at him, looked him up and down, and said, "You still hire a chef?" Do you have any money on you? The little money I just gave wouldn't have been enough for you to eat such a big meal of paella if it weren't for my mother's kindness! Not to mention soup and fruit. ”

"What did you say? One gold coin isn't enough for a paella? Did you rob it!? ”

The overlord was about to slap the table, but who knew that the little fat man's expression looked at him like an idiot and said, "You still don't admit that you are a young master?" What can you buy with a gold coin now? It's been depreciated for a long time! When I look at you at home, I don't know what is going on outside the window, and I don't know that prices are soaring and the currency is depreciating! Due to the large amount of gold that can be obtained in the Tower of Miracles, we are going to be inflated here! ”

"What? What did you say? What depreciation? What swelling? ”

The overlord had a question mark in his head, and was obviously stopped by this little fat man.

White Frost dragged his brother by the way, knowing that this guy didn't know anything about these new terms.

"Overlord, sit down for me! Inflation is a new term that has only appeared in recent years, and I can't explain it to you for a while! Anyway, you just need to know that in the past, a gold coin could be eaten for a month, but now a gold coin can only be eaten for a day, you just need to understand this. ”

"Ah???h

The boss of the overlord's mouth was open, originally he thought that with a gold coin of white frost, even if they couldn't rob the pirates here, they could buy some food to supplement their supplies, but now it seems that they can't rob it, and that little money is not enough to see!

Baking Soda also lowered his voice and said in the overlord's ear: "Yes, now that gold coins are overflowing, my father is thinking about minting gold crystal copper coins or secret silver coins." ”

The overlord's eyes wandered around, and he didn't dare to look at this little fat man! He couldn't talk about people at all, and the amount of knowledge was not enough, and his face was flushed.

But fortunately, the little fat man didn't mean to continue to fight the overlord when he saw his commotion, but held the soup spoon and said, "Mom, come with me to the back kitchen to help!" Don't hide here! ”

With that, he turned around and walked to the kitchen.

The fat aunt patted the overlord on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't listen to him, young man!" Your father is right, the dream~ You still have to have it, what if it suddenly comes true one day? Hehe~~ I'm going to be busy now, please go to the toilet after you eat. ”

Overlord sat down like a defeated rooster, he hung his head and felt that he was really naïve... I didn't know anything, so I went to sea to find my father with my blood, but I was hit by a little fat chef in a little-known pirate's den.... Can I really help my father? Or is he just messing up with his aunts?

At this moment, the overlord's heart was shaken! But this shaking only lasted for more than ten seconds.

I saw him raise his hand violently and pat his cheek twice, shake his spirits, and dry up the pot of soup on the table in one go.

In the midst of the hammer's protest, the overlord stood up and wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go!" Go to the place with the most rich people on this island and ask, and we have made up our minds! ”

"If we do lack gold coins and nautical knowledge, we can talk about fighting.... Who of you is afraid?! ”

Several children looked at him and shook their heads, only the fathead wanted to nod, but the hammer held its head.

"Good! So let's go now! You must know that when my father was driven to the Demon Forest, he only had more than 20 soldiers with him, and more than half of them were spies! He was able to develop to this point under such unfavorable circumstances, and there is no reason why we are not as good as our father! Come on! Brothers~~~! ”

"That's right! Come on~~~! ”

A few children cheered themselves up, and then walked out of the restaurant one by one with their chests held high.

However, just after they walked far away, a pair of squinted eyes lay on the window of the back kitchen, looking at their departing backs, it was the little fat man in the restaurant.

I only heard him sigh and say to himself: "Alas... I envy them for their carefree sailing, when am I going to get out of this damn land kitchen? ”

The fat aunt put a big hand on the top of her son's head and rubbed it, and said with a playful look in her eyes: "What? Intrigued? Mom knows that you want to go to sea, although I said before that dream of yours is unrealistic, but now that you are old and sixteen years old, it is time for you to find your own life. How about onions? Would you like to go to sea with them? It's too late to catch up. ”

The little fat man raised his hand and removed his mother's hand, rolled his eyes and said, "Who wants to go to sea with that group of idiots!" Cut~~ I'm not a nanny, don't talk nonsense, the guests are still waiting for the food to be served. ”

Looking at her hard-mouthed son, the fat aunt showed a smile, but she also shook her head and sighed, looking in the direction where the overlord and the others left, thinking thoughtfully.

Let's say that the overlord and a few people are walking aimlessly on the street, looking like a group of unemployed idlers. In fact, they pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on the conversation of the people around them, not to mention, and finally let them hear something.

It turns out that there will be a big auction tonight at the Central Black Market Auction House on Skull Island! Unscrupulous merchants and bigwigs from all over the world will gather here, and this is also a feast that will be held every summer on Skull Island.

In fact, Skull Island's black market auction is held once a season, but this one in the summer is the grandest of the four auctions and the most items. This seems to have become a tradition on the black market on Skull Island, and perhaps people are more restless in the summer, so they are willing to spend money.

"Hey~~ Brothers! Did you hear that? Let's go and rob the auction house! If you go to this kind of auction, those people will definitely carry a lot of money! Hey~~~ I seem to have seen countless gold coins beckoning to us~~~"

The overlord clenched his fists, and his expression had already begun to yy.

However, the fathead fish chopped pepper and poured a basin of cold water on him in a timely manner and said: "Generally, this kind of black market auction will have special security personnel on duty, even if you don't bring those merchants or underworld bosses and subordinates who come to participate in the auction, there are thousands of local pirates alone, and there are about 100 people who are directly distributed in the auction hall, how do we do it?" Do you have a plan? ”

"This plan..."The overlord touched his chin again: "My plan is to improvise!" Do it when you get it! That's the plan~~~"

The fathead fish opened his mouth wide, stared at the overlord with a pair of dead fish eyes, and only squeezed out a sentence after a while: "I have to say, this plan of yours is really... What a genius! ”

A few boys snuck into the location of the auction hall and searched all the way.

The Skull Island Black Market Auction was a market set up by pirates who wandered around the neighborhood to sell their stolen goods.

Who knew that it would get bigger and bigger, and it had become a scale in recent years. It's just that the pirates are stealing less and less stolen goods, and more are novelties collected by merchants from all over the world, or things that are forbidden to be sold in the local kingdom.

For example, slaves. Now the "item" of slaves is basically except for the Savage Continent, and the other five continents have announced the abolition of slavery.

But the huge profits from the slave trade still kept the profiteers entertained.

Some of their slaves were captured and bought from the wild continent, and some were abducted and sold from other continents, in short, it was illegal.

The Black Market Auction stands in the middle of Skull Island, a natural stone mountain. I don't know which talented person hollowed out the inside of the stone mountain and built it into an auction house.

The temperature here is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is extremely ventilated, except for a lot of bats and seagull droppings, the rest of the conditions can be called very good.

The Overlord and his party circled around the auction hall with a large area, wondering where they could sneak in.

But after turning around, there was only one gate to enter the auction hall dug out of this stone mountain, and although there was a small iron gate in the back, it was tightly locked, and it seemed that it would only be opened in case of emergency.

But that's not hard for our overlord! He rounded to a deserted corner and climbed halfway up the hill with his awesome Batman belt.

When he went up, he found that there were many natural caves on the mountainside and at the top of the mountain for ventilation! From there, there is direct access to the inside of the auction, i.e. directly to the office area.

The whole auction hall is divided into four floors, the first floor is of course the main auction venue, which covers the largest area and has the highest roof, almost leading to the top of the mountain.

The second floor is a place for the staff to rest and work.

On the third floor, there are safe rooms where various auction items are temporarily stored.

On the fourth floor, there are some miscellaneous items stacked up, as well as several janitor's dormitories.

The overlord climbed halfway up the mountain, looked towards a large hole, but saw that there were several big men in it who were changing clothes, and his eyes were almost blind from the white flowers! My feet slipped and I almost didn't roll down the hill.
