Noisy music, crowded roads, bustling crowds.
Although both are among Terra's top modern mobile cities, the atmosphere in the Grand Knight Territory city center is completely different from Saint Foucault City, which Goki had seen.
Between the towering buildings, hundreds of square meters of giant electronic screens are everywhere. The deliberately bright colors make these advertisements conspicuous and dazzling.
And on the streetlights of Golden Feather Avenue, high-pitched loudspeakers are hung—broadcasts of matches, advertisements for various goods, and promotional voices for various contestants fill the ears of tourists.
This is a nearly brainwashing method of promotion. Most of the people who come to watch the matches are well-off. Although they are all annoyed by this extreme promotional method,
in the end, they still can't help but generously open their wallets and buy many goods that are far above market price and completely useless.
This is not a simple, arbitrary trap, but the best way to make money, constantly summarized and concluded by experts hired by the Commercial Federation, relying on business knowledge and customer psychology, through countless failures and erroneous experiments.
However, this is only a part of Kazimierz's vast commercial income.
It is this penny-pinching, profit-driven attitude that allowed the Commercial Federation to quickly amass a large amount of wealth, suppress the already corrupt knight class, and give the Crusader Knights, who at the time even lacked money for salaries, the strength to fight against the vast Ursus Empire and the ancient Leithanien Dynasty.
Of course, everything has two sides. Perhaps the young merchants who started to establish the Commercial Federation truly loved Kazimierz and hoped to replace the knight lords, using their financial resources to build it better.
However... the result is that now everyone only remembers making money.
This has nothing to do with Goki. He is a professional hunter. Hanging capitalists on lampposts is not his strong suit, and his knowledge of political finance is only at the keyboard warrior Rank.
Now, he cares more about how to make the girl beside him happy.
"Hmm, so noisy..."
Holding an ice pop in one hand, Skadi, dressed in her hunter uniform, sat on a bench in a corner of a mall, crunching down bites with her small mouth, completely unafraid of the cold. Large and small bags were placed beside her. She looked at the tourists coming and going around her, her cute brows slightly furrowed.
Although this white-haired, red-eyed beautiful young woman was not only curvaceous but also exceptionally beautiful, a tangible aura of 'no entry for idlers' emanated from her, causing any young man who wanted to strike up a conversation to retreat after taking the first step.
Skadi didn't particularly like the atmosphere here; it was too noisy, too chaotic, even affecting her perceptions.
However, she had to admit that the entertainment and food on land were a street ahead of the Aegir people.
"He's still not back, glug glug glug—delicious."
Bringing a cold drink to her lips, Skadi skillfully sucked on the straw, feeling the soft, elastic pearls enter her mouth, mixing with the sweet milk and subtle tea aroma.
The first time Skadi drank this drink called "milk tea," she almost choked, but now she had a basic understanding of modern city food.
Delicious as it was, in Skadi's heart, the best food was always what Goki made.
The next second, before Skadi could react, a cool, icy sensation touched the back of her fair neck, making her shiver.
"Goki!"
Although there was a hint of complaint in her words, a faint smile immediately appeared on Skadi's face.
Undoubtedly, there was only one person in the world who could get close to an Abyssal Hunter who had defeated a god without provoking her to retaliate.
"Hey~~ Sorry, sorry. Here, I bought the fruit. It's already so hot in Kazimierz, I don't know how we'll manage later when we go to Kazdel, ah— — — —"
Holding half a cold watermelon in his right hand, Goki sat beside Skadi, smiling cheerfully at Little Orca. He dug out the reddest and sweetest large piece from the center of the watermelon with a spoon and offered it to her mouth.
In Terra, due to frequent natural disasters, permanent farmland is rare, and most countries barely achieve food self-sufficiency, with some places suffering from famine even more severely than Saltwind City.
However, the upper-class luxury of fruit still exists, though the price is much higher than on Earth.
But since the Director is a big spender, Goki doesn't mind swiping her black card a few more times.
