Looking down from the sky, the city was distributed along the coastline. The coastline was densely packed with ports, and there was a wide road that ran parallel to the ports. This road was the busiest street in Golden Harbor, the Golden Avenue. On the inner side of the Golden Avenue, there were many trading companies.
Further away, there were many goblin factories that were emitting black smoke.
There were large tracts of farmland on the outskirts of Golden Harbor. Farmers had a very low status among the goblins. Unlike humans, the goblins didn't like farming and looked down on farmers. They believed that only the most stupid of goblins would do such a hopeless job. People would rather go to the mountains to be miners than to farm.
There were no nobles or landlords among the goblins who controlled large amounts of land. Most of the land in the Goblin Kingdom belonged to agricultural companies that operated plantations. These companies would hire farmers or use slaves to operate the plantations and make a profit by providing food to the city.
Feng Chou quietly landed in a small alley on the side of the Golden Avenue. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, he canceled his invisibility and walked out of the alley.
At this moment, Feng Chou had used both the Facial Emulation Mask and the Transfiguration Spell to conceal his true appearance. At this moment, he was just like a stern-looking middle-aged gentleman.
The wide Golden Avenue was full of traffic. There were many goblins hurrying along the sidewalk.
Patrolling carriages carrying armored Goblin Bear soldiers could be seen on the streets from time to time. Goblin Bear soldiers in armor could also be seen on the sidewalks, wielding heavy hammers and large revolvers at their waists.
Feng Chou waved his hand and called for a rental carriage.
After boarding the carriage, he told the goblin coachman the name of the Gallivix Mining Company.
The goblin coachman didn't say anything. He waved his whip and drove the carriage towards the city center.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a large plaza. This plaza was located in the middle of the Golden Avenue. Behind the plaza was a large five-story building. The building had a clear goblin style. The walls were grey and the roof was green. There were many strange decorations outside the building, and strings of flashing lights were hanging from it. At the top of the building, there was a statue of a goblin holding a miner's hoe.
Feng Chou threw a silver goblin coin to the coachman and got off the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Feng Chou didn't go directly to Garivix. Instead, he strolled along the golden avenue.
After walking for a few hundred meters, Feng Chou saw a luxurious hotel with an obvious Northern Continent style.
This hotel was called Deepwater Hotel. When Feng Chou walked into the hotel lobby, he saw that the service staff and guests were all humans.
Feng Chou went to the front desk and asked for a luxurious suite.
After booking the room and getting the key, a waiter led Feng Chou to the luxurious suite on the top floor. Along the way, Feng Chou asked about the origin of this hotel.
As it turned out, the owner of this hotel was originally a representative of the Tailun City Alchemist Association stationed at the Golden Harbor. After he had stayed at the Golden Harbor for a long time, he slowly settled down in the city. After he retired, he opened this hotel, and it was specially used to entertain merchants and high-ranking sailors from the Northern Continent.
After settling down in the Deepwater Hotel, Feng Chou took a short break and left the hotel.
He walked along the street and returned to the plaza of the Garivix Company. He walked through the plaza and entered the trade hall on the first floor of the building.
The trade hall was bustling with activity. On the wall at the innermost part of the hall, there was a large panel. There were many white paper signs on the panel, each of them written in Gnome language.
There were many narrow passageways behind the panel. From the front of the panel, Gnomes could be seen running around the panel, changing the paper signs on the panel from time to time.
Feng Chou stood in the hall and looked at it for a long time before he realized that the panel was actually a panel of goods. At the top of the panel were the types of goods. There were soybeans, oil, wheat, cloth, black stone, steel, black iron, silver, gold, arcane copper, magical gemstones …
Below the names of the goods was an introduction to each type of goods. For example, from the introduction, it could be seen that the so-called black iron was actually crude black iron with a purity of only about eighty percent. The arcane copper was also crude, and the magical gemstones were raw gemstones that had not been carefully cut …
Below the introduction of the goods was the serial number of the goods. Below that was the current price of the goods, and below that was the recent rise and fall of the goods …
It wasn't hard to see that this hall not only had the function of trading large quantities of goods, but also the function of trading futures.
Feng Chou walked to the window on the left side of the hall and asked the goblin trader how he could purchase his goods.
The Trader told him that he needed to inject funds into the Garivix Bank. With the proof of funds, he could trade goods here. If he had other assets, such as a ship of goods, a mine, or real estate, the Garivix Bank could also provide him with a mortgage to trade goods.
Feng Chou thanked the Trader and left the trading hall, going to the Garivix Bank next door.
Not long after, Feng Chou returned to the trading hall next door with a deposit certificate of one million gold sols.
With this deposit certificate of one million sols, the trading hall quickly arranged for a separate trading office for him. He was even assigned a goblin trader to serve him.
After that, Feng Chou continued to buy large amounts of black iron, arcane copper, mithril, adamantine, magical gemstones, magical minerals … Soon, Feng Chou had spent all the one million sols.
After spending the money, Feng Chou immediately requested to retrieve the goods. The Garivix Bank's warehouse was behind their building. It was a large castle-like warehouse.
Feng Chou retrieved all the goods he had bought.
On the surface, he used the spatial ring on his hand to store the goods, but in truth, his spatial ring couldn't hold so many goods. Qiankun Pagoda had opened a spatial gate in the spatial ring, and the goods were all leaked into Qiankun Pagoda.
In the next few days, Feng Chou kept changing identities. One million sols today, the next. In half a month, he spent a total of twenty million sols in the Garivix Bank's trading hall.
Twenty million sols was equivalent to three hundred million crowns in the Northern Continent.
Moreover, due to the Gnomes' advanced engineering, mining, smelting, and transportation technology were far more advanced than the Sutton Empire's. As a result, the Gnomes' products were cheaper than the Sutton Empire's.
The goods that Feng Chou bought with three hundred million crowns would cost four hundred million crowns in Stormwind City.
Feng Chou also found that Golden Harbor's goods were not only cheap, but they also had a wide variety. Apart from a few specialties from the Underdark, almost everything could be bought here.
This probably had a lot to do with the Gnomes' superior mining and prospecting skills.
These alchemical materials were continuously sent to Qiankun Pagoda and turned into + 5 magical equipment by Qiankun Pagoda.
Three hundred million crowns worth of materials were turned into more than five thousand sets of + 5 magical equipment by Feng Chou!
