I live in a desert island property

Zhang Ming added: "One last point, in order to prevent the secret from leaking, you must deposit part of the deposit with me. I will not return the deposit to you until the formula is fully announced and the price increases."

"The acquisition of Starry Sky Shell must also be planned in detail. We cannot acquire it all at once, otherwise we will drive up the price ourselves. If everyone goes his own way, the news will eventually leak out, and we must act in concert. And your investment of ten thousand is enough. There’s no need to bet so big.”

The snake man was surprised. This condition was harsh enough.

That batch of goods was deposited with Zhang Ming, which was equivalent to a deposit.

If the news is leaked, or if one acts alone and disrupts the market, then I simply will not pay it back.

"How much... how much?"

"It's not much...two thousand!"

Zhang Ming's eyes became sharp, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and thunder and lightning were slowly swimming in the air.

As the strongest person in this civilization, the snake man in front of him seemed to feel threatened all of a sudden.

He felt like his whole body was being grabbed by a cold claw, and his heart was about to stop beating. This cold feeling spread from his neck to the base of his tail!

He seemed to have encountered the most difficult choice in Snake's life.

This extraordinary person seems to have made all-round progress.

The last time we met, there was no such terrifying pressure.

In the end, the scales on his body stood up one by one, as if he had experienced a severe mental breakdown, and he said exhaustedly: "Okay, we will give you the deposit."

"Excuse me, Sir, I have full control over this matter... I, the Snake Man Civilization... will definitely cooperate."

Zhang Ming looked relaxed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. We are all friends and we are just making a fortune together."

"By the way, these space gourds are given to you as a small gift."

These space gourds are only 5 cubic meters, which is not large, and is of little use to a civilization. But for private use, it’s so useful. Who doesn’t want to have a private space prop? These snake people accepted this precious gift and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next people to be dragged into the water were the Honggang Civilization and the Akala Civilization.

Honggang Civilization is the main host of this trade event. Coupled with the friendship between Zhang Ming and the Honggang people, the possibility of direct betrayal is relatively small.

Gondor, who is specifically responsible for this matter, is also sweating profusely. What kind of gambling behavior is this? Going to the trading market of Wanhai Civilization to cause trouble?

But after experiencing the effect of the Light Talisman, Honggangren was slightly shaken.

When I thought of the huge gains in the abyss, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind.

Follow the God of Wealth and you will have meat to eat!

How many opportunities will there be in a lifetime? Seize it once and make a fortune; seize it twice and promote civilization!

"Mr. Zhang, the highest resolution of this civilization has been passed... I have staked my future and fate on you." When Gondor said this, he was out of his mind.

He felt that he was taking the biggest gamble in his life. Either he would be ruined and become a criminal of civilization, or he would be famous throughout the ages and become a hero of civilization. The gap between this coming and going is so great that it makes people tremble.

Of course, the main reason why the Supreme Council passed this resolution is because the Honggang people want to buy a lot. Although they have a big family and a strong foundation, the source of the world is still far from enough... because their world will is A huge active volcano!

This means that it is difficult for Honggang people to dig out a piece of earth's crust as a new continent for their escape through mining.

They have to buy more unique technologies to survive this disaster.

As for the Akala civilization, it is purely because it looks a bit like humans, is relatively close to humans, and is easy to handle. It is also the white gloves needed for this event.

As a market behavior, it is difficult to completely conceal the massive acquisition of Starry Sky Shell.

So I simply borrowed the name "Akara Civilization". Anyway, this civilization has never appeared.

As for why the Akala civilization agreed to such a dangerous life?

There is no way, they are too weak and have nothing good to offer.

All the goods can afford a deposit of 2,000 units of World Source.

If you don't take some risks, how can you get benefits?

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

In this way, a total of four civilizations formed an offensive and defensive alliance, the humans, the snake people, the Honggang people, and the Akala civilization. The humans contributed 8,000, and the snake people and Honggang people each contributed 10,000. The Akala civilization was too poor. There was only 2,000, Zhang Ming paid 12,000 himself, adding up to 42,000!

Okay, it's all goods, and it's an estimated price, but this number is scary enough.

This is really a big trade, and it takes a long time to accumulate money slowly without disturbing the market.

So in the next six months, humans first traded some starry sky shells from the Ladybug Civilization.

As a species with scales on their skin, the Snake People are straightforward and aboveboard, purchasing large amounts from other civilizations.

In the eyes of other civilizations, this kind of trade is perfectly normal... After all, if snake people want to mend their scales, they have to chew on shells.

In daily trade, even if one does not purchase Starry Sky Shells, the main purpose is to exchange them for raw materials, because the raw materials are easy to get rid of, and can then be exchanged for Starry Sky Shells.

As for Zhang Ming, he took his friends for a leisurely tour of the world of Honggang Civilization and experienced the alien culture.

Overall, the Honggang civilization is a civilization with highly developed capitalism. If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move anywhere. Even their cultivation method requires a lot of resources.

So this civilized life is actually quite complicated.

I met up with old friends from the past again. Zhang Ming had stayed in the abyss for 84 years and formed friendships with many Hong Kong people. Most of his old friends lived a good life. Although a few of them were in despair, overall He was still very satisfied.

…

As time passed slowly, a "rumbling" sound sounded from the horizon. The guiding spacecraft of Wanhai Civilization finally arrived at this island - the temporary transportation vehicle that Honggang people rented for 20 units of the source of the world.

The spaceship showed a long streamlined shape, and the metal on the surface shone with a bronze metallic luster, and small runes were engraved in some places.

Its length is about 600 meters and its width is 140 meters. Its volume is eight times that of an aircraft carrier on the sea. This is a real aerospace aircraft carrier.

"Boom!" As the engine was turned off, the spacecraft slowly landed.

Zhang Ming heard an expert beside him whisper: "It should use a lot of anti-gravity materials."

"Hey, if we had so much anti-gravity material, we could also make this kind of spacecraft."

"Isn't nuclear power alone enough? What about fusion engines?"

"Nuclear fusion is certainly enough, but look at how little movement they made when they landed, and there was no strong wind, so it must be a higher-end anti-gravity."

Ahem...

Zhang Ming listened to their discussion and thought of his trophy flying saucer. It seemed to have a lot of anti-gravity materials.

The door of the spaceship slowly opened, and dozens of humanoid creatures and individuals from Wanhai Civilization stepped out. Zhang Ming had already seen it. Although Zhongshan looked like a big mountain, it was actually a humanoid creature.

Obviously, the diversity of creatures in Wanhai Civilization is quite rich. Some have slender bodies, delicate skin, and pointed ears, which are very in line with human aesthetics, but it is impossible to tell whether they are male or female; The eyebrows and beard are both white.

There are also some individuals who look like silverback gorillas. They are very tall and tall. They are seven or eight meters tall. Their muscles are all tangled, which seems to be the manifestation of some kind of blood power.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for such intelligent species to appear in nature.

Gondor stepped forward, bowed to the white-browed old man who was leading the group, and said something else.

"Dear friends, this flight is bound for the Wanhai Civilization Central Trading Market. The estimated sailing time is 67 days. All staff on board the flight are here to serve you wholeheartedly." The white-browed old man actually spoke the spiritual language, but his accent was not It's very standard, like a spoken language somewhere.

Zhang Ming's face couldn't help but tremble a few times. The white-browed old man might have used some special method to conceal his aura.

But his strength is definitely not too bad. Looking at the way the giant orangutan behind him is respectful to him, you can tell the true level of this old man.

He didn't even expect that the other party would directly say "I will serve you wholeheartedly." As expected, the old-fashioned civilization has strict systems and heritage.

"My name is Gandolf, and I am the captain of this spaceship. If there are any major matters, you can report directly to me."

"There are many civilizations that have settled in our Huzhong Cave. It is strictly forbidden to fight or use superpowers to destroy the Huzhong Cave. Otherwise, I have the right to kick the offending passengers and civilizations directly from the flight. Please try to avoid causing conflicts between both parties. Embarrassing things happen.”

The old man named Gandolf controlled the atmosphere very well.

Be serious when you should be serious, relax when you should be relaxed.

Then he waved his hand: "Dear friends, without further ado, the goods can be shipped. Except for weapons of mass destruction that need to be reported to me, the rest of the goods are your privacy and we will not forcefully inspect them. But please also take good care of your property. If there is a dispute, Wanhai Civilization will not be responsible for it."

"Ah Da, Ah Er, you are responsible for transporting the goods to the spacecraft as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The several orangutans behind him, whose powers far exceeded those of conventional spiritual limiters, were actually just porters!

Of course, that doesn't mean the orangutans are extraordinary.

It's just that their bloodline is special.

No one can be considered an extraordinary person until he has mastered the rules of strong idealism.

"Mr. Zhang, please come this way."

Zhang Ming followed Gondor and stepped into the spacecraft. At the end of the silver-white metal corridor was the famous "Cave in the Pot".

The moment he stepped into the threshold, he seemed to have entered another world.

The light above the cave sky has been artificially simulated, just like sunlight shining down, and the trees are green and swaying in the wind. There are also cherry blossom-like plants planted on the roadside. The petals are falling all over the sky, and the fragrance is bursting, making people intoxicated.

The Huzhongdongtian is a small world with a diameter of 10 kilometers. With the blessing of technology, it is not much different from the real world.

The small valleys are the residences of various civilizations. They are separated from each other by trees, which can well ensure the privacy of each civilization.

"Looking at it this way, the cave in the pot and the source of the world sold for two thousand are still appropriate?" Wang Fumin said with some envy.

"Advanced means of transportation, coupled with the cave in the pot, it is like a cash cow!" Gondor also said with envy, "Just think, in just two months of journey, they earned 20 units of the source of the world. If we can continuously find new customers, we can make back the cost in 200-300 months!”

Zhang Ming said: "You have to have so many customers to make money. Now is a special time. Do you usually have so many customers?"

"There are indeed quite a few guests..."

"Wanhai civilization generally carries out logistics and transportation business, and the cost is not expensive." Gondor explained, "To give a simple example, we urgently need to transport a certain kind of goods. If we open a ship, it may take a hundred years."

"But as long as you spend a little money and rent a smaller high-speed spacecraft with 3-5 units of the Source of the World, you can save this hard-working journey for hundreds of years."

"This time it was because I directly rented a Huzhong Cave, which cost me 20 units of the Source of the World."

3-5 units, this price is just at the psychological price acceptable to many civilizations.

Don't think it is small, the source of the world is a large price unit. After years of accumulation, it is difficult to imagine how rich the Wanhai civilization is.

And this is the real source of the world, it is hard currency, not the price of other goods that cannot be sold!

"Old Zhang, rob these thousands of civilizations and make a fortune in one fell swoop!" Shimama said in a message, the old voice seemed a little crazy, "Old Zhang, as long as you can rob them, you can achieve immortality and become eternal! "

The veins on Zhang Ming's temples throbbed a few times. If you want to grab it, grab it yourself. When the time comes, your Xuanwu blood will be squeezed out and turned into juice.

Gondor added: "What's more, this big spaceship should have more than one cave in the pot, and it should be more than just our group of guests..."

"It turns out that we can still carpool." Zhang Ming couldn't help but shrugged his nose. This Wanhai Civilization can really do business.

He secretly thought: If the aerospace plane made by humans can fly faster, maybe it can really start a leasing business.

"But don't be anxious. The appreciation of the Starry Sky Shell worth 42,000 yuan is the real big business."

This Cave in the Pot was rented by a collective, including humans and snake people, with a total of more than 20 civilizations crowded into it. It would take a month just to load the goods.

There is another Cave in a Pot on the spaceship, which was leased by a joint venture of some other civilizations.

So this spaceship alone gathered nearly fifty civilizations and carried countless wealth!

…

"Based on the fact that a civilization can carry goods worth ten thousand world sources, it adds up to half a million!"

"This shows that Wanhai Civilization itself has a very good reputation and its wealth is astonishing. Even if we make double the profit, it will only be 42,000. They should not meddle in others' affairs..."

In this secret room, representatives of the four civilizations, humans, snake people, Honggang people, and Arak people, were discussing something seriously.

Sitting in the center of the round table is Zhang Ming, the main planner of this operation.

"We have purchased half a million tons of star shells from other civilizations at a fair price. We are still a long way from the total target of five million tons."

"The Huzhong Cave next door has a total of 27 civilizations. There should be some reserves. Let's explore some information first and communicate normally."

"If there is trade, just add some starry sky shells to the cargo list."

"After two months of traveling, I should be able to trade a lot of 'starry sky shells'... Don't be nervous."

The other civilized representatives who participated were under great pressure as they saw more and more goods being collected. If these things don't appreciate in value, where can they get them out in a short while?

But that's not all, they have to import more and more goods, until they are filled with starry sky shells worth 42,000 world sources!

If the plan fails, the consequences will be disastrous!

Fortunately, Zhang Ming's voice was calm and his stance was firm, which gave them a certain degree of confidence.

"As for the large-scale acquisitions on the surface, let the snake people do it."

"Now that the snake people have exposed their needs, just trade normally and don't buy too expensive. We should stay in the trading market for a long time and there will be many opportunities. Everyone, relax, we will never lose money no matter what. .”

"Understood, we will send people to contact them." The leader of the snake people stuck out his long and slender tongue and swung his tail a few times.

…

…

On the other side, there is a cave in the pot, a huge artificial lake with rippling blue waves and beautiful ecology. The white petals fall into the lake, and the fragrance bursts into it, which is intoxicating.

A huge turtle is inhabiting the lake. Its shell is ferocious and thick, and its scales are fiery red. A slight spit in its mouth will trigger a strong wind and stir up waves in the lake.

A group of sea lions served around us and presented fish and shrimps.

It’s such a comfortable day like a fairy.

If Shimama were here, she would definitely exclaim, "Old man, why are you here?"

Six years have passed, and Dragon Turtle has naturally had his own adventure.

The leader, Bai Haishi, said: "Sir, have you been satisfied with your life recently?"

The dragon turtle snorted twice and thought to himself, he couldn't see the sun in this ghost place, and he was really struggling to improve his breathing skills. What's the difference between the cave in the pot and the cage?

It said to the white sea lion: "Don't be deceived by those people's rhetoric. Where does a good life come from? Strength!"

"Without strength, you are nothing!"

"They only invited us to participate in this transaction because they took a fancy to my strength and wanted my protection. Otherwise, I, the Flame Horn Clan, would not be worthy at all! Do you understand?"

The White Sea Lion quickly and respectfully replied: "Sir, you are right! However, the clan members are still working very hard, practicing breathing techniques day and night, and several outstanding seedlings have appeared. After a few years, they have grown up, You’ll need them.”

Dragon Turtle thought about it for a while.

After so many years, it has seen a lot of markets, and deeply feels that this group of sea lions is too weak, and the road to rise is really long and arduous.

But, so what?

Cultivating a weak civilization is the fun of turtle life; directly defecting to a powerful civilization? Then call yourself a pet!

"Now take me to see our warehouse. Don't let thieves steal it."

"This transaction is an opportunity for us to rise!"

If it doesn't work, just rob it and find a weak civilization to grab it!

Dragon Turtle thought secretly.

"yes!"

The white sea lion climbed on the back of the dragon turtle.

The Dragon Turtle is huge in size, but quite agile. It can span a distance of tens of meters with each step. It crawls like a super-large dump truck moving at high speed.

Not long after, they arrived near the storage warehouse.

There are quite a few alien soldiers guarding here. These aliens have all kinds of strange looks. Most of them are humanoid, holding spears, hammers and thermal weapons.

Although the use of superpowers is not allowed in this place, necessary security is still required.

In the eyes of Dragon Turtle, these soldiers are just a matter of being bitten to death.

"Master Turtle, why are you here? Have you finished eating the fish and shrimp?"

A strange creature with the appearance of a dinosaur bowed slightly, which was a sign of respect to the super strong... This turtle is really too strong, and it is also an absolutely strong person in extraordinary life, and it has a high degree of wisdom, which is really rare!

Dragon Turtle asked casually: "Why hasn't the spaceship moved recently? Is there any new civilization on board?"

The Dragon Turtle inspected the things in the warehouse, the most precious of which was the "Bi Xi Egg".

It was precisely when the Dragon Turtle discovered Bixi's nest of eggs that he had the chance to be reincarnated.

There are a total of three eggs in this clutch, one of which is used by itself. The other two eggs have shown signs of petrification due to their age, and there is almost no possibility of hatching. However, no matter what, they are still the most precious trade of dragon turtles. Item, its price is about... 3000 units of World Source!

The dinosaur man performed a standard etiquette and said: "Yes, Mr. Turtle, we found out that there are more than twenty civilizations settled in another Huzhongdongtian. Let's take this spaceship and go to Wanhai Civilization together. market place."

"They've sent representatives here to talk...do you want to meet?"

"Of course I want to meet them. I have time to see them now!" Dragon Turtle exhaled.

He was thinking about his private money plan in his mind.

In addition to the eggs, its warehouse also stores a large amount of "garbage"!

These rubbish were piled up miscellaneously, like corals, shells, and seabed minerals. There were several large warehouses in total.

This is what the sea lion family has accumulated over the years.

For example, a kind of shell is dotted with dots of patterns and can shine brightly. It looks quite beautiful. Sea lions like to eat shell meat.

In primitive times, they have been accumulated to this day.

Later, when I met other civilizations, I realized that these garbage were called "starry sky shells" and were good trading resources.

There is also a kind of blood-red coral, which is also a pretty good trading resource.

There are also fish bones, monster scales, etc., all of which are trade resources needed by technological civilization!

When Dragon Turtle learned the truth, he was deeply suspicious of these technological civilizations and had a serious mental illness. No matter what materials were used, they could be traded. Could it be that even the shit they pooped out could be traded?

The answer is of course yes, shit also has a purpose.

The premise is that it is the shit of a dragon turtle that a lot of civilizations are clamoring for, rather than the shit of ordinary creatures!
