The entire cave was filled with treasures, including countless gold coins and many gold artifacts and jewels. This scene reminded Zhou Wu of the treasures of a dragon.

"Haha, I'm rich!"

"So much treasure."

It took most of the day just to empty the treasure here. The Bull Demon King ship has a total of ten warehouses, two of which were crammed full of treasure.

Zhou Wu wasted three days on the island before setting off again. Fortunately, after the last storm, the sailors were no longer seasick, and they were much better able to control the Bull Demon King.

Moreover, on the fourth day after leaving the island, Zhou Wu and his group discovered signs of habitation.

The Moon Man Kingdom is a neighbor of the Great Dragon Empire. Although the two countries are only adjacent, they rarely appear in each other's countries.

So when the behemoth, the Bull Demon King, slowly approached the port, the Moon Man stared at the massive object before him, unable to calm down for a long time. When he saw that the people getting off were the Great Dragon Man, he became even more agitated.

"Who is the captain?"

The sailors leaning against the deck looked bewildered as they listened to the dockworkers' questions.

"I am the captain."

"Your Excellency Captain, this is the Moon Man Kingdom's dock. Welcome to the Moon Man Kingdom. I am Li Bing, the dock manager. We need to conduct a routine inspection of your ship."

Hearing that their captain could communicate with the Moon Man without any obstacles, everyone looked on with even more admiration.

"Hello, Administrator. We are merchants from the Great Dragon Empire, and we have come to your country to conduct friendly trade."

As they were talking, Zhou Wu disembarked and came to Li Bing. While shaking hands, he secretly slipped a stack of silver coins into Li Bing's hand. Zhou Wu was all too familiar with this kind of thing.

“The Great Dragon Empire is our friendly neighbor. Since it is an allied ship, there is naturally no problem. This is a port pass, which can guarantee your ship’s safe passage through this port.”

"Thank you so much, Administrator. We expect to stay at the port for three to five days."

"Rest assured, as long as the ship is in port, I can ensure its safety."

Zhou Wu felt that the reason things went so smoothly was probably mainly because the other party didn't know what role he played in the Great Dragon Empire. In addition, the existence of the behemoth, the Bull Demon King, made the other party mistakenly believe that he had a background with the Great Dragon government.

However, Zhou Wu's guess was correct. When Li Bing first saw the Bull Demon King, he never thought that such a giant ship could be used by ordinary people. After all, even the official government of a small country like Yue Nan did not have such a huge ship. That's why, after Zhou Wu took the initiative to make good, Li Bing took the opportunity to express his attitude.

"By the way, is there a translator at the dock?"

"Captain, don't you speak Moon Man language?"

"Haha, that's right. I might be going out to do business with some people these few days, but my sailors need to relax at the dock."

"Oh, I understand, but I'm sorry, because there are basically no dragon people here, so no one speaks the dragon language."

Even without the administrator saying anything, Zhou Wu had already guessed it was pretty much the case, but he still wanted to try his luck.

"Sir, doesn't that poor scholar speak the Dalong language?"

Just as Zhou Wu was about to leave, feeling somewhat disappointed, a subordinate behind the administrator suddenly spoke up.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Captain, please wait a moment, there is indeed someone here who can act as your translator."

After saying that, the administrator ordered his men to bring the person over. Soon, a young man dressed in tattered clothes was brought over. Zhou Wu looked him up and down. Although the man was dressed in tattered clothes, he still kept himself clean. However, he was probably weak due to long-term malnutrition.

"You are a Great Dragon Man."

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's voice, the other party suddenly widened their eyes and stared intently at Zhou Wu, seemingly unable to believe that there was actually a Great Dragonman here.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am a Great Dragon Man, and you are also a Great Dragon Man, sir?"

"Yes."

After the administrator brought the person over, he left on his own.

"Sorry, I got a little excited. It's been many years since I've seen the Great Dragon Man."

The other party seemed to realize they had gotten a little too excited and quickly apologized.

"Are you the only Dragon Man here?"

"Yes, I have been living here for three years."

How did you get here?

"Well, it's a long story."

Seeing that the other person was speaking weakly, Zhou Wu guessed that he was also hungry, so he took him to a restaurant at the dock, ordered some food, and chatted while eating.

"My name is Deng Yuanliang. I am a scholar from Dalong. A few years ago, I was preparing to take the imperial examination, but the court suspended the examination due to the war. As a result, my lifelong knowledge was useless. So I prepared to do some business at sea with my uncle. Unexpectedly, on my first voyage, we encountered a storm. The ship was destroyed and everyone died. I was the only one who survived. When I woke up, I was already at the dock of Yue Nan Kingdom."

Deng Yuanliang has probably completely let go of the past over the years, so he showed no emotion when discussing his own life.

This is understandable; if a person is stranded in a foreign land, it will be difficult to survive if they don't start making a living as soon as possible.

"Would you be willing to go to Da Long?"

"Hehe, I have no relatives left in Dalong, so it doesn't matter whether I do it or not."

Deng Yuanliang gave a bitter smile. He had no relatives or friends left in the world, so it was the same no matter where he was.

"Do you have a family background here?"

"I can't even feed myself."

"Well then, my ship will probably be frequently traveling between Moon Man and Great Dragon in the future, and you speak Moon Man's language, so why don't you come and work with me?"

After thinking for a moment, Deng Yuanliang decided that since he was alone anyway, he might as well take a gamble. After all, he had initially decided to go to sea with his relatives because he was optimistic about the prospects of overseas trade.

"Row."

"Okay, haha."

Zhou Wu was overjoyed to see Deng Yuanliang join the team. If Deng Yuanliang proved to be competent after a period of observation, Zhou Wu's life would be much easier, and he could even completely break free from the business of sailing at sea.

"Yuanliang, we've come to Yuenan to purchase grain. Are you familiar with the situation here?"

Now that the agreement was made, Zhou Wu stopped hiding it and directly stated his purpose for the trip.

“Brother Wu, because of the climate, many of the crops in Yue Nan can be harvested three times a year, so the price of grain here is very cheap. However, I personally think that if you are in the trade, it is not suitable to transport the grain back to Da Long for sale, because the profit is not high.”

Deng Yuanliang has not been idle in Yuenan these past few years, especially in the dock area, which is a trading hub. With his sensitivity to prices, he has developed his own unique perspective on Yuenan's trade.

Zhou Wu originally intended to explain that he wasn't buying and selling for profit, but that his village was genuinely short of food. However, after hearing the other party's eloquent explanation, he became more interested.

"Yuanliang, what are your thoughts?"
