1 A Notorious Merchant

A wanted poster broke the peaceful life of everyone in the city.

Many people gathered in front of a newly posted wanted poster and discussed it in confusion.

Standing beside the notice was not a city guard, but a servant in ordinary clothes.

Seeing that most of the people had gathered, a gloomy-looking servant stood up, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and said as he whipped the wanted poster.

"This is the man who called himself Bieber. He stole 200 gold coins and a precious island pearl from our young master, Raffles, with that tiny weird thing called a phone. If anyone knows about this man, they will be rewarded with 100 gold coins."

Hearing the reward of 100 gold coins, everyone could not help but discuss.

"Who dares to steal from the Earl's son?"

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid even ordinary bandits wouldn't warrant such a high reward!"

"They're too stingy. It's only 100 gold coins. The wanted criminal stole 200 gold coins and the island pearl. It's worth at least 10,000 gold coins!"

...

At the same time, there were wanted posters everywhere in the city.

There were all kinds of wanted people.

One was called Scarlett, one was Captain America, one was called Iron Man and there was even Hulk.

However, if one were to pay close attention, they would definitely discover that there were some similarities in their appearances.

The reason for the arrest was roughly the same. It was all because this ordinary person had swindled their family's gold coins.

The condition to capture each of them had changed from finding to hunting them down, and in the end, they were to be captured either dead or alive.

At this moment, at a noticeboard outside, everyone was greedily looking at the reward.

A dark-skinned man with well-defined facial features could not help but shake his head. He said softly, "Is that necessary? You're the son of a Viscount, after all. Isn't it just 150 gold coins?"

"Look at Raffles, son of Earl Thornton. Not only did he give me 200 gold coins, but he also gave me a precious island pearl!"

"As expected, just as I told you when we met, you are far too inferior to that Raffles. This isn't a matter of status, it's about your state of mind. I hope I can help you grow up this time!"

With that, the man prayed and held his hands by his chest as he whispered, "Amen."

Soon, the man left and arrived at a high-class residence.

Upon entering the room, the man heaved a huge sigh of relief.

He washed the charcoal off his face and changed out of his commoner clothes, revealing a fair face.

This person was called Jack.

Because of an accident, he came to this world.

He seemed to have transmigrated physically, his previous life's appearance and memories did not change.

When he first transmigrated, Jack felt great!

There was no young American in the world who did not want to transmigrate.

After all, reality was too depressing.

But when he became the lucky one, he could not help but regret it.

This was especially after a group of natives almost ate him.

It was only then that he realized that the world he had transmigrated into was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

Furthermore, he had yet to awaken the golden finger that usually accompanied a transmigrator.

It made him want to return to his own world!

He wondered if God was asleep or if he was planning on playing an interesting game. Jack's prayer did not receive a response at all.

In the end, Jack could only reluctantly accept the truth.

He settled down in this world.

However, when he started to understand this world, his mood changed drastically.

The place he was at was called the Noah Continent. It was an extremely vast land. According to the legends, this world seemed to have been an ocean that extended endlessly from the start.

According to the legends, the land he stepped on seemed to be a product created by a king named Noah, through the use of countless islands and pearls.

After learning of the existence of pearls, Jack was excited!

Wasn't this the world of One Piece in the Japanese manga?

As an experienced One Piece fan, he yearned for the endless sea too.

This was especially so for the sea that contained these magical islands and pearls, he felt even more heroic and motivated!

Compared to the loneliness of his previous life, perhaps this wonderful world was the world of his dreams!

According to the books, island pearls were extremely magical existences.

They could create an island in the vast sea.

If one was lucky, they might be able to produce all kinds of high-quality resources. If they were unlucky, they might only be able to create a beach.

Not only that, the pearls could also grow by devouring other island pearls.

After understanding the information, Jack was completely excited!

He secretly swore that he would become an Island Master and carry out a magnificent adventure in the endless sea!

However, other than the cell phone, US dollars, and random items like his lighter, Jack had nothing else that he could use.

If he wanted to take a risk in such a situation, he probably could not even afford a battered sailboat.

Not to mention expensive island pearls!

But Jack was not in a hurry. He could wait for the sake of his dream!

Using his modern knowledge, he easily integrated into this society.

After a few years of investigation, he roughly figured out the basic situation of his town.

This country was a monarchy with a King.

Below were various Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, and so on.

This country had a long history, and the families that held titles grew and fell with the change of the kingdom, replacing one another in a never-ending cycle.

To put it bluntly, if you casually threw a stone at a beggar on the side of the road, it was very likely that he was once a certain Count of a certain family.

In such a chaotic place, morality was naturally low.

The private lives of most nobles were very chaotic.

Internal strife within the family was even more common!

In the past few years, Jack had experienced no less than a hundred family dramas.

Those who did not make it through became slaves.

After becoming familiar with the world, Jack finally completed his final plan.

In the past few years, he had used more than a dozen identities that he had installed in this town to open up his own path of investing.

The tool was the cell phone he had brought from modern times.

Jack's phone was already out of battery.

However, right before his phone ran out of battery, he found the solar power data he had thrown in a corner during his university days.

Hence, it took him an entire year to make it.

If not for that, the cell phone would have run out of battery long ago and the plan would have been foiled before it even started!

The plan was very successful. In addition, the speed was very fast, allowing him to earn 2080 gold coins and a precious island pearl within a short month.

After getting these things, Jack decisively disappeared.

He abandoned all his previous identities.

He went back to the appearance that he had when he first appeared in this world.

As long as the attention faded, he would be able to set sail!
