There is an island in the southern ocean called Paradise Island.
This island is only about a few hundred square kilometers, but it has an excellent natural harbor. It does not belong to any country in the world, but to a person named Nintendo.
The island is named after him.
No one knows the origin of this Nintendo. Some say he is Japanese, some say he is Malay, some say he is a monk from Tianzhu, and some say he is a Taoist priest from China.
They are all rumors because no one has ever seen his true face.
Some people even say that he is actually a wizard and a woman...
The reputation of Paradise Island sounds very peaceful, but in fact it is a gangster's den, because all the pirate ships parked here are pirate ships.
All the property and goods stolen by the pirates will be sold here. Paradise Island will evaluate the value of the property and goods, and then pay the pirates 70% of the value in silver, and the other 30% will naturally be the handling fee.
Needless to say, the price charged is not much, and it is considered a very affordable price.
That's why pirates flock to it.
Paradise Island is not only a place for selling stolen goods, but also an entertainment destination.
The entertainment facilities on the island are extremely complete, including restaurants, hotels, casinos, bars, shopping malls...and of course women.
So in the minds of pirates, this is their paradise.
"Boss, there is Paradise Island ahead. Our fleet cannot get close." That afternoon, the fleet finally reached the waters of Paradise Island. When it was about ten miles away, Wu Hanming ordered the fleet to stop advancing.
"This is the territorial waters of Paradise Island. No warship from any country can enter." Wilson explained.
"Damn it, why are you so awesome if you're not just a den of thieves?" Shangguan Qiji expressed dissatisfaction, "We have twenty warships, and we captured them in minutes."
"Haha, not to mention twenty warships, even two hundred are useless." Wilson said, "That island owner Nintendo has powerful magic power. Not only can he call the wind and rain, but he can also summon the dragon monster in the sea. He was so powerful before.
The Habsburg royal family once sent hundreds of warships to attack Paradise Island, but the result..."
As a result, the entire army was wiped out!
Since then, no royal family or country has dared to invade Paradise Island.
"I don't believe this kind of thing." Shangguan Qiji felt that this must be a rumor. "Maybe he happened to encounter a typhoon or something."
"There has never been a typhoon in this area." Wilson shook his head, "How big a typhoon can destroy a fleet of hundreds of warships?"
"Anyway, I think there is something evil in it." Shangguan Qiji is a person with correct scientific views.
"Haha, there is a ghost, a devil." Wilson said, "In fact, we all call this place Devil's Island, and the owner of the island, Nintendo, is the devil..."
Only the devil would dare to make a deal with the most vicious pirates on the sea.
"Whoever he is, it has nothing to do with us." Xiao Chen ordered the fleet to get into battle formation and cruise around.
He also wants to make a deal with the pirates.
Ling'er, Xiao Ye, Fu Yan, Wilson, and Shangguan Qiji came to the port in a small boat flying a white flag representing peace, but they saw hundreds of strange-shaped ships of different sizes moored in the port.
It must be a pirate ship.
There are also some cargo ships and merchant ships that should be the trophies plundered by the pirates...
Before the boat approached the dock, a speedboat came quickly. The people on the boat used flags to signal them to follow them and dock at a small dock. The people on the dock used iron hooks to hook the boat closer and tie the cable.
A young man with blond hair and blue eyes in a black robe was waiting at the pier. When he saw Xiao Chen and others coming ashore, he bowed very politely and said, "You are crying!"
"Huh?" Xiao Chenxin asked, "Does this guy look like a little devil?"
"Savadika!" The young man quickly changed to another language.
"We are Chinese!" Ling'er said loudly.
"Welcome!" The young man immediately changed to Chinese. How many languages does this guy know?
"Thank you. My name is Xiao Chen. What do you call me?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Just call me Johnny." The young man's smile was quite warm, "China is a beautiful place, right?"
"Yes, Johnny, I also welcome you to visit China." Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe...Mr. Xiao Chen, what are your goods?" Johnny finished his pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"We are just here to make friends, not to trade." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh... that's very welcome, you know, we need friends." Johnny was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly.
"Can you help me find a place to stay? I think we may need to spend the night here," Xiao Chen said.
"Of course, it's just..." Johnny glanced at Ling'er and said hesitantly, "Are you sure this beautiful girl wants to go to the island too?"
"Why do your rules here prohibit girls from going to the island?" Xiao Chen said.
"No, no, no, I mean, there are many rough people on this island, and they may be rude to this girl... Mr. Xiao Chen should know that this is a very dangerous place."
"I like taking risks." Xiao Chen smiled, "But thank you for your reminder, we will be careful."
"Okay, then I wish you good luck." Johnny shrugged.
Paradise Island looks more like a resort town, with neither wide nor narrow cobblestone streets, various shops lined on both sides of the streets, and large and small wooden houses nestled in the woods on the hillside. It stretches unevenly and covers almost the entire island. Almost all the facilities in the town are
Yes, but no one...
"I didn't expect it to be so quiet here." Xiao Chen suddenly had a creepy feeling. Why on earth do I feel that this place is not like heaven, but more like a ghost town?
Isn't it too quiet?
Logically speaking, there can't be no one there. There are obviously so many ships moored in the port.
"It's daytime now." Johnny smiled, "The day and night here are opposite to those on land, which means that the day here starts at night."
Johnny led Xiao Chen and others all the way to a large courtyard. There were about a dozen wooden houses in the courtyard, and the layout was a bit like Liuheyuan in Fengyang City.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask Mr. Xiao Chen, what kind of house do you want to live in? The price of each house is different, and the difference is huge." Johnny waited for everyone to visit before mentioning it.
price.
"I think this place looks good, how much does it cost?" Xiao Chen is now rich and has no shortage of money.
"I'm so glad you like it here. This is the best house on our island. We only charge ten gold coins every night." Johnny said.
Don’t you know how much silver twenty gold coins are?
"I don't know what currency you want to pay with. Gold is ten taels. If it's silver, it's one hundred taels." Seeing Xiao Chen's confusion, Johnny immediately helped him convert.
One hundred taels of silver a day?
You might as well go grab it!
"No problem." Xiao Chen smiled, "I like it here very much."
"Of course, one hundred taels per person." Unexpectedly, Johnny hadn't finished speaking yet.
In other words, if the six of them stayed here for one day, it would cost six hundred taels of silver...
