First Law

If it is a matter of reality, no one can compare to Karen. Anyone who sees a commercial route around half of the wasteland will feel that it is unreasonable to make trouble, but only Karen knows what this route represents.

It can be regarded as the cornerstone of the leaping gold town.

Looking at Martin King and Wolf Fang, the two allies, he asked softly, "Have you ever eaten kebabs?"

The two agreed inexplicably, not sure why such an irrelevant question was asked on the key issue of the alliance, but they still nodded, "It tastes good, especially with your Coke and draft beer."

"How about the rum noodles?"

"Okay, Karen." Martin was a little impatient. He came here this time to discuss countermeasures, not to chat about the taste of the snacks. The title of "barbecue chaser" is not enough for him to envy him, "I admit that you are a Gourmet, but we should be more pragmatic, everyone knows that the straight line is the most direct and cost-effective, Karen, I think you should understand that."

Of course Karen understood, "Of course, I am very clear, but I still decided to use my plan. If we have to find a trade route in the wasteland, why are only the three of us benefiting?"

"What's the meaning?"

Karen took out the red pen and began to draw red dots on the curves he had drawn. After a while, the number reached more than forty, like crescent moons inlaid on the map.

"I'm not joking with the two of you. These are the results of my careful investigation. These tribes have a certain force and economic foundation. To be precise, they have the capital to gain a foothold in the wasteland. Although they have not won the title, they are definitely close to this level."

Langya looked at the red dot. He had no idea that there were so many tribes in the wasteland. Although Martin knew some, he was not so specific. "How do you know they have capital?"

"Barbecue restaurant!"

"Barbecue restaurant?" Martin became more and more inexplicable, what could a kebab shop know.

"Martin, it's very simple, because out of more than 100 agents in my barbecue shop, only these 40 or so have persisted and are still profitable." Karen smiled, "Every month I secretly give these The tribe provides some draft beer, cola and marinated mutton, if a tribe is very poor, it should not be entitled to enjoy these things."

Martin was stunned. He didn't expect a barbecue restaurant to have so many ways. He looked at Karen strangely, and only he would pay attention to such weird things.

Martin already felt the meaning of this red line, and Karen might use this line to completely hold the entire southwestern part of the wilderness in his hands.

This is not business at all, it is aggression at all, and it is blatant aggression.

To maintain their alliance, relying on only three people will take a lot of effort. If these small tribes are connected, then the south and west of the wasteland will be completely formed into an iron plate.

Trade routes, so that these small tribes can benefit from it, then they will voluntarily attach themselves to the alliance.

Martin stared at Karen, then at the map, and shot his eyes back and forth. In the end, he could only laugh helplessly. He had to admit that this necromancer was definitely a genius in business.

"I agree."

Langya still couldn't figure out the details, and felt like he was playing a charade, "Martin, what are you doing."

Both of them laughed at the same time, "Don't worry, you will earn a cent, as long as you do things well.

"

Karen also laughed and said, "Have you heard the leader's lecture, and do things with peace of mind."

Langya was convinced. Their barbarians had low IQ, so they couldn't bully them like that.

No one figured out what kind of agreement the three guys had reached in the shabby hut. In short, Martin left with a smile on his face. As for Wolf Fang, his face was still full of doubts.

The moment he left the room, Karen directly asked Philips to give priority to the design of mineral storage warehouses and transfer stations for giant cargo ships.

Karen stayed in Golden Harbor for a whole month, and all the things sent by the human race were sent directly to the energy transition factory in Starbad. In just half a day, only a few dozen of the thousands of griffins would be left, and then there would be It was secretly transported to Gold Glitter Town, and then transferred to Golden Lion Fortress.

As for the fused bronze skull, throw it directly into the dimension bag.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. According to Philips' design, the obstructing reef group has been turned into powder. Behind the reef group is an asphalt mine that shines with black light.

The full investment of Piggy Pig has allowed the mine to expand infinitely.

Now these big guys have completely become the main force of Shining Gold Town. Ground hardening, road laying, and even mine construction have completely become the most important labor force in Shining Gold Town.

Karen and Martin demanded to bring in as many piggies as possible, and this damn winter couldn't do it.

The cold winter has kept the town of Gold Shine from the wrath of Kabul, but it has hindered the developed commercial trade.

Everything in the world has pros and cons, and Karen can't change this big rule.

From the ore on the ice field to the town of Glittering Gold, it took almost a month. Sometimes he wanted to open an underground passage, at least not affected by the harsh winter in the wasteland.

This is a good way, but the cost is too high, and it can't be supported by myself alone.

Wait, why did you come by yourself?

Karen suddenly had an idea, yes, why did he let himself come to such a big wasteland by himself.

While waiting like this, at the end of the first month of winter, a long convoy slowly marched into Gold Shining Town.

The giant horned horse brought carts of dark cinder mines, a special ore that can be burned to extract cinder oil, and it has been used in many alchemy experiments.

More importantly, this is the main material for making explosive incendiary bombs. This is the lowest grade of ore. It is precisely because of its low grade that it consumes a lot.

These sporadic businessmen piled the cinder ore into the newly built warehouse, and two black hills were erected directly.

This was Karen's attempt. On the second day, Phelps' Whale Spot arrived at Golden Harbor on time. After handing over the Griffin and the corpse, the ship was empty.

He can definitely send these cinder mines to the human race to make a fortune.

Karen smiled and pulled Phelps to the barbecue shop. Thirty skewers of barbecue, twenty lamb tendons, ten skewers of pigtails, a stack of peas, a whole bucket of draft beer and a glass of Coke.

"Mr. Phelps, I want to use your Whale Spot." After a few drinks, Karen couldn't wait to express her intention.

"Oh, you want to transport something, it's not the cinder mines."

It's a bit embarrassing to be directly pointed out by the other party, but now he has something to ask for, so he can only bear it. He doesn't want to hire a freighter from the human race all the way, "Is there a problem? I will pay for it." commission."

"Hehe!" Phelps put down the lamb skewers on hand, "I asked you about Philips last time, how did you answer me?"

Karen froze for a moment, not knowing whether to smile or not.

Phelps wiped the grease from his hands, "It smells good, but I'm sorry, my Whale Spot never ships dirty things, if you think I've offended you, you can react to the Queen of Spades, I don't care .” Wei Wei laughed twice, and walked away directly.

"Boss, he doesn't agree?" Churchill looked at the huge freighter going away, and already knew the answer.

Karen nodded. It was rare for him to ask for help, and the feeling of being rejected was really uncomfortable.

"It's okay, this is ore, don't you worry about not having a buyer?"

This is all self-comforting, things are by no means as easy as they appear.

These ore merchants from the ice field are eager to get money, because Wolf Fang has promised them that as long as the ore is sent to the mine in Shining Gold Town, they can get a price that is three times higher than the ice field.

Karen would have to pay a lost wage fee if she didn't delay for a day. ,

Of course, as a lord, there is no need to be so afraid of ordinary merchants. It is understandable to lose faith for a few days, but Karen himself does not allow it. This is not only treating merchants, but also treating Beiluman, the bear of the north, and the vast ice field market.

Being able to expand the plan in his heart, the ice field is very important.

In order to appease these businessmen, Karen invited all the businessmen to a barbecue feast that night, and promised to pay everyone the next day.

When everyone was drunk, Karen took the boat and set off to the depths of the Aegean Sea.

The boat swayed like a leaf, and Karen felt nausea in his stomach. After coming out of the Gold Coast, he had already vomited everything in his stomach.

"Boss, how can you go out to sea because of seasickness?" Ah Zhen hurriedly blessed Karen with a holy light. Unfortunately, this kind of physiological reaction cannot be solved by magic at all. This spell can only make Karen look a little better.

"It's okay, I'll just get used to it when I vomit." Karen knew that he had this problem, and it wasn't so obvious on the giant freighter, but this kind of small canoe couldn't do it, the violent shaking made his intestines vomit out, "Churchill, how far is the freighter island you mentioned?"

"There are still two hours of boat ride, boss, why don't I go alone." Churchill couldn't bear it.

It was his idea to go to Freighter Island to hire ships, and there was no other way.

Freighter Island is in the junction area between offshore and deep sea. Generally, freighters traveling in those oceans will stop here for a short while. If they are lucky enough to meet an empty freighter, they will be able to send the cinder mine to the human race.

When it comes to the human race, these cinder mines will immediately become a sought-after commodity.

"No, the business is different this time, and there is no room for mistakes." Karen wanted to smile, but his stomach reacted immediately, and he spit out a mouthful of acid water directly into the sea.

He had to sell the cinder mine to get the money, and more importantly, to make those merchants confident that the things they shipped to the golden port could be sold.

He wanted to let the creatures on the ice sheet know that there was a stable market here.

The ocean currents at night are terribly strong, and this is still near the sea. If you go to the deep sea area, it is estimated that Karen will be gone after a wave.

The three of them were floating like this, and Karen was praying like this in his heart, praying, and he didn't know how long he was in a daze, and finally saw a faint light on the dark sea.

"Here?" Karen's eyes widened instantly.
