Chapter 160 Street

"Tut." Charles put his face forward and carefully looked at himself in the mirror.

He doesn't often look in the mirror, and suddenly seeing his own face feels very strange.

"Has it changed so much? I remember that I shouldn't look like this." Charles murmured.

"What did Mr. Charles look like before?"

"I don't remember clearly, but it shouldn't be so fierce." Charles said as he put his clothes back on.

After watching for a while, Charles turned to look at the gunner on the table. "Come on, Lily, walk the street with me."

"Hmm!" Lily lit her little head excitedly.

A man and a mouse came out of the captain's room and came to the deck of the Narwhal.

Standing on the deck and looking towards Hope Island, I saw that the simple grass shed had been refurbished and became taller and wider.

If the previous straw shed was just a bent centipede, then the current straw shed is a big octopus crawling on the island. The tentacles of the "octopus" gradually covered the entire island according to people's needs.

In the distance, some people wore hats with wide brims, entering and exiting the "octopus" like ants.

When Charles walked to the beach, the street inside a tentacle under the "octopus" appeared in front of them.

Some low-rise houses have appeared on both sides of the street. Because Charles did not allow trees to be cut down, most of the houses were built of stones. Because they were not strong enough to prevent collapse and crush people, most of the houses did not have roofs. .

But it's such a simple building, it just sets off the excitement of the pedestrian street.

Charles supported Lily with his hands, and walked slowly along the street. He looked at the goods placed on the stones in the store, and the goods were not much less than Coral Island.

"Is it to praise them for their business acumen, or to praise them for not being afraid of death?" As soon as the new island came out, they dared to come here to do business without even exploring a safe route. "

"Mr. Charles, I want to eat that." Lily walked towards a shop selling drinks.

"Banana wine? Is your wine brewed from bananas?" Charles pointed to the light brown liquid in the big urn.

"That's right, sir, it's the kind of food named by the governor, banana, which is not available on other islands. Do you want to try it?"

I don't know if it was because of the change in appearance, but the other party didn't realize that the governor he was talking about was right in front of him.

Charles was a little surprised when he saw the price of three hundred echoes. He didn't expect this glass of wine to be so expensive.

"Sir, now the Ministry of Agriculture buys bananas at a fixed price, and the quantity is still very small. It was hard for me to buy them. It's normal for them to be expensive."

Charles didn't say anything more, and took out the banknotes and handed them over. The order was indeed issued by him.

Among all kinds of fruits, banana starch is the most, and it is also the most suitable as a staple food.

He needed to save the seeds for Frey to find someone to open up a field for bananas. If an island has to import food, it will be very inconvenient.

Banana trees bear fruit in ten months, but they grow a lot. A tree can bear more than a hundred roots at a time. The output can't compare with sweet potatoes, but at least it can compare with corn.

As for storage, you can put the bananas in the sun and dry them into dried bananas. Anyway, this variety of Hope Island has no sugar and is durable for storage.

Lily embraced the cup excitedly, stuck her head in and took a sip, then nodded excitedly at Charles. "Mr. Charles, this banana wine is delicious! Would you like to try it?"

The owner of the hotel next to him had a wonderful expression on his face. I don't know if he disliked the mouse drinking from his cup, or he was surprised that the mouse could talk.

"Drink more if it tastes good." Charles asked the man with a beer belly who bought alcohol: "My friend, is this street safe?" "

"Hmm..." There was a look of embarrassment on that person's face.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Charles was taken aback. It didn't take long for the order to be disrupted?

"Security is quite safe, but the young chief with the mask is a bit too strict. Just stealing things is cutting off the palm of the hand. The robbery was shot on the street directly. Everyone he made was careful."

"Is it……"

"Yeah, to be honest, the governor really doesn't take human life seriously for letting such a guy with no hair grow so much power."

Seeing Lily poking her head out of the glass and glaring at the innkeeper with her hands on her hips, Charles returned the glass to the innkeeper.

"Perhaps, but this way, the troubles of the other islands will be gone."

After Charles finished speaking, he took Lily and walked towards the crowd.

Di Pu is indeed frizzy, but as long as a person stays in the position, he can always find the most suitable way of handling things.

Moving on, Char found something that other islands couldn't see.

Believers of the Illumination Cult, explorer crew members, and those pioneers, no matter what their status is, everyone is full of vitality.

Hope Island is full of waste. It is not difficult for anyone to support themselves. There are all kinds of business opportunities here. As long as you think fast enough, you can make a lot of money in no time.

Walking and walking, a huge square appeared in front of Charles. Looking at the large grass shed above his head, Charles judged that this should be the center of the "octopus".

There is also a huge notice board hanging in the center of the square, and a large group of people are surrounding it on three floors inside and three floors outside.

As soon as Charles approached, he heard someone in the crowd explaining the decree issued above to his illiterate companions.

"There's a lot of nonsense on the above, but it's actually one thing. Hope Island has started selling land. As long as you have money and buy a piece of land here, you will be a permanent islander here. By the way, there are still There is an additional clause that descendants inheriting the land need to pay inheritance tax.”

"Does it say what the price is?"

"The distance from the center of the island is different, and the price is also different. The cheapest one costs 2 million echoes."

"God of the Sun, how much land does the entire island have? How many echoes can this exchange? No wonder some people say that as long as you become the governor, you don't have to worry about echoes anymore."

"No matter what you choose, I will buy one anyway. I plan to retire here. Settling on this island is definitely much better than other places, and this is a new island, so the probability of sinking is the least."

Lily raised her head and looked at Charles. "Mr. Charles, you are so rich now."

Touching Lily's head with his hand, Charles quickly glanced over the faces of the crowd.

They were discussing fiercely whether they need to buy it, and they were also calculating which location is the most cost-effective to buy.

But Charles didn't see anyone talking about the Bright Lands of the Infinite Lands.

"Hey, didn't the Governor say that the land above is the Land of Light? There is infinite land there, why do you still care about it?" Charles asked, patting someone on the shoulder.

The man looked at Charles with disdainful eyes, "Are you a child? What do you believe in what others say? Even if there is a bright place, the governor will block the door and collect taxes from ordinary people like us."

Sorry, I have something to do today, there are only two chapters, and it will be back to normal tomorrow.
