Astromancers have a noble status. As sellers of scarce items, they have the right to determine the minimum price. If the price is lower than the expected number, the transaction will not proceed.

The final formation of the price starts from the highest price of the other party, and the final price is the average of all prices, so that all star warlocks get the same amount of silver.

On the other hand, businessmen pay differently, some spend more and some spend less. A one-time hidden bid is a psychological test for participants. Without knowing how many contribution points will enter the transaction, the higher the price, the higher the chance of receiving contribution points, and the lower price, It is possible that they will not be able to get the number of contribution points they expect. As for the gentlemen who bid the lowest, they will naturally have no contribution points to get.

Contribution points, as a scarce resource, are worthy of being quoted at a higher and higher number. Cheng Jinzhou knew this very well, the star warlocks knew this very well, and so did the nobles and merchants.

The yellow paper that was about a foot long made everyone look at it involuntarily, even Liu Qingshuang and other female relatives.

Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but be curious, and unfolded the note with a swipe.

Lu Xu immediately brought his big head over, followed by He Run who pretended to be pacing.

The expressions on the faces of the three people are different.

Xiao Cheng had already expected it and gently put down the note. He Run simply took a breath and said nothing. As for Lu Xu, he just lowered his head and began to calculate in silence.

It's pity that he is a second-level star warlock who can withstand the tyrannical body of 5000 star points, but he has to think hard even for the most common calculations.

"Announce it." Cheng Jinzhou casually flipped through the box twice, and after confirming that the numbers were OK, he ordered calmly.

Everyone has been impatient for a long time, and everyone has bulging eyes.

Xiang Xin took a deep breath, took the note, exhaled and said loudly: "The number of star points in this transaction is 1820 points, and the average price of each point is 8,723 taels of silver."

Those round eyes almost fell to the ground.

1820 star points, almost three two-star warlock short selling contribution points are enough. Unfortunately, no two-star warlock would sell their star points below 100 - that would be equivalent to an automatic downgrade. If they need to use it, not being able to buy enough contribution points would be a real tragedy.

So, this means that at least a dozen Star Warlocks have chosen to sell Star Points.

If businessmen cannot fully appreciate the horror of 1,820 star points, then 8,723 taels of silver are enough to scare their tongues out. If they are used to buy land, hundreds of acres of land would be enough for a small country. Build a palace; if you use it to buy slaves, nearly a thousand people will be enough for the largest family; if you use it to support the elderly, the next three generations will have nothing to worry about.

This is just the price of one contribution point. The total amount is 15.87 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the tax revenue of a province and almost certainly exceeds the assets of most aristocratic families.

8723 is still an average number, which means that when someone pays a higher number than it - even though someone's bid is lower - many people secretly sigh, while they are still surprised, there are actually people willing to pay the number. times the price.

Of course, there are also people who remain calm and ponder secretly.

Among the Star Warlocks, some also glanced at this. Compared to the association, the price was more than 14 times, which is really surprising.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, everyone, let's enter a pleasant banquet. Those who have successfully traded can take out your certification stones, and someone will complete the final steps for you. In addition, everyone is welcome to attend. The next trade fair will be held in two weeks."

A group of dancing girls came out with joyful steps, dividing the crowd. Astromancer apprentices shuttled around holding certification stones, either asking about their intentions for the next trade fair, or completing the transaction itself.

Everyone's expressions were solemn, especially the elites at the top of society, who were sensitive to the significance of this trade fair.

Not only the formalization of contribution point trading outside the association, but also the soaring contribution point prices and possible popularization will make the entire world's trading system different.

They still cannot understand the meaning of the world of credit that Cheng Jinzhou needs, but the simple principle of "money is valuable or not", which is the so-called inflation, is quite clear.

Jiang Huang, Kande and others stood up and left the table. The star warlocks returned to the inner hall to discuss their favorite topics, while the businessmen and nobles stayed where they were, looking at each other with expressions of inexplicable surprise.

Soon, the legitimate son of the Dou family took the lead in throwing the jade pendant in his hand. After the crisp sound of falling to the ground, everyone was left with a back full of suspicion.

"Their bid is too low." The two merchants murmured in a low voice.

There are many channels for aristocratic families to obtain contribution points. Due to their habitual thinking, they did not expect that their contribution points would soar 15 times during this trade fair.

What they were thinking the most was probably "This is crazy."

Before the price was announced, many nobles had serious or ferocious expressions. Some well-connected guys originally wanted to control the price, and even negotiated with those giant merchants. But now, it seems that no one has really fulfilled their promise.

The Dou family was one of the three major families in the Xia Dynasty, but except for him, no one had the courage to leave.

Liu Qingshuang's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Cheng Jinzhou who was approaching with a mysterious expression. Her father was the transporter, but he knew the meaning of 15 million taels of silver quite well.

Her appearance was extremely lethal to Cheng Jinzhou. Classmate Xiao Cheng was so excited by that look that he took Liu Qingshuang's little hand regardless of the public.

The catkins are tender and smooth, as if you can squeeze water out of them. Cheng Jinzhou squeezed it really hard.

"It hurts." Qingshuang's beauty blushed like a cloth and let out a soft sigh.

Cheng Jinzhou suddenly woke up, laughed twice, then raised his chest and looked around majestically.

Everyone retreated.

Liu Qingshuang couldn't help laughing, punched him twice and said, "What are you doing? There is a friend of mine inside."

"Your friends can't stay with us all the time." Cheng Jinzhou said narrowly.

In Daxia, this level of teasing is definitely beyond the scope of a slut. Miss Qingshuang thought for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed. The pleasure of solving problems is the source of self-expansion for young people.

In the banquet hall, there was singing and dancing, and the half-dark transactions burned everyone's hearts.

The star warlock apprentices who are responsible for the transaction process try to complete the handover with one party of the transaction alone when there are few people, but in the eyes of an interested person, they can still guess who has purchased the contribution points.

Liu Qingshuang had been accompanying Cheng Jinzhou. At this time, she saw many nobles with red eyes and couldn't help but whisper: "Will there be nobles looking for trouble because of this?"

"As long as the Star Warlock doesn't cause trouble." Cheng Jinzhou said this, then waved his hand and called Shi Mo: "Take my name card and invite Jing Zhaoyin from Xia Jing to come over."

Jing Zhaoyin is the mayor of Xia Jing. His official title in Daxia is Internal History, and he has considerable authority, no less powerful than the ministers of Dali Temple and others. If you do well in this position, you often have a great chance of entering the cabinet. It has always been a position that officials fear and love.

However, with Cheng Jinzhou's current position, let alone the internal history, even the Daxia royal family does not need to care too much.

After a while, Jing Zhaoyin came running over - he was really running, which is said to make it easier to look serious.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't even need to exchange polite greetings with him, he simply asked, "Do you know the situation here?"

After getting the affirmative answer, he immediately said: "You must protect the nobles and businessmen attending the meeting today. I will ask you for any little thing."

The internal history is a ministerial-level official, an upright third-rank official, and Weiwei still agrees.

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged, then smiled and cupped his hands.

Jing Zhaoyin immediately wisely handed over and left.

The conversation between the two didn't take more than two minutes, but the nobles around them saw clearly and started whispering again.

Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips, turned to Liu Qingshuang and said, "Actually, I hope something happens to someone?"

"Then what?"

"Teach him a severe lesson so that everyone can remember that passive protection is not enough."

Liu Qingshuang's delicate little face looked at him intently, and suddenly said: "Your tone smells of conquest."

"Conquest?" Cheng Jinzhou asked curiously.

Liu Qingshuang nodded affirmatively and said: "After you came back from Northern Han Dynasty, you became...more decisive."

She struggled to find a word to describe it.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled bitterly. The battlefield is a battlefield after all. Although what he experienced may have been the easiest war, thinking about the Americans who had fought easier wars. Didn't they still suffer from countless mental illnesses? His tone changed a little. , and even some changes in the way of doing things are possible.

In full view of the public, Liu Qingshuang was reluctant to make affectionate gestures. She only used her thumbs to gently caress the big hands holding her.

At that moment, Cheng Jinzhou really felt a warm ocean current surging in his chest.

His hand tightened a little more.

The sky gradually darkened.

The setting sun is like expired raw meat, glowing with a dark red color.

The star warlocks said goodbye and left one after another, and many people were still talking about irrational numbers. Xiang Xin gave full play to her coordination skills and tried her best to send everyone out in person.

When the noise in the banquet hall gradually disappeared, Cheng Jinzhou was about to say goodbye to Jiang Huang and others when Xiang Xin flew in in a hurry and knocked away a chair.

Lu Xu immediately laughed mercilessly and said, "Don't fly in such a narrow place."

The underlying joke is that Xiang Xin's star rating is too low - if the level determines strength and speed, then the Star Warlock's star rating determines agility and intelligence. In terms of racing cars, the Star Warlock's level is equivalent to horsepower, and the star rating is equivalent to torque.

Lu Xu's own calculation ability was very poor, and he could hardly see Xiang Xin bumping against the chair, and his laughter was so loud that it seemed to go through the ceiling.

Xiang Xin was the apprentice of the sorcerer Liu Kuangxing, one generation lower than Lu Xu. He looked at him and didn't reply, but handed the stack of paper in his hand to Cheng Jinzhou and said: "Mr. Cheng, would you like to read this article of mine? "

"Have Mr. Liu Kuang read it?" Cheng Jinzhou asked as he took it.

"Not yet." Xiang Xin said in a small voice, "This article is about the Elements of Geometry."

"Euclid?"

"You still remember, the fifth parallel axiom, I said that I wanted to use the first four to prove it..."

Cheng Jinzhou widened his eyes and asked, "What then..."

Xiang Xin's voice became softer, but he persisted: "I feel that the fifth parallel axiom is not necessarily true, especially through learning new knowledge in the recent period..."

Cheng Jinzhou shouted "No way" in his heart, and almost used his hands and feet to pick up the stack of paper - is it possible that non-Euclidean geometry was actually created by Xiang Xin?
