I live in a desert island property

Long Gui went crazy, and the news of the acquisition of "Starry Sky Shell" was quickly spread to the Huzhong Cave next door.

Its reputation is getting louder and louder. This guy is too powerful. His huge size and overwhelming momentum are enough to frighten most civilizations.

As for it selling a bunch of starry sky shells to the Snake Man, then buying an even bigger pile and acting as a miser - this tossing and topsy-turvy behavior has become a joke among civilizations.

"That guy's probably crazy."

Because Dragon Turtle only has Starry Sky Shells in its warehouse, the value of the transaction is very limited.

So for a while, there was no civilized communication anymore... They were also afraid of being bought and sold by force.

As for what it does with so many starry sky shells?

This is a world mystery.

"This dragon turtle is really hateful. I knew it was a scourge, so I should find a way to crush it to its ashes!" Shimama said angrily in the secret room.

Representatives of other civilizations were also a little anxious and kept using diplomatic means to obtain information.

Now there is an unexpected competitor, which is about to arrive at the trading market. Unknowingly, everyone's mentality has also undergone subtle changes.

After all, it took so many civilizations more than a hundred years to produce this large amount of start-up capital, so we couldn’t afford to lose money!

"Friends, there is no possibility of the news being leaked, otherwise the major civilizations would have started to compete for the Starry Sky Shell instead of laughing at the Dragon Turtle." Zhang Ming sat in the middle of the round table conference room with a calm expression.

He knew that what needed to be done most at the moment was to appease people's hearts and provide some psychological massage to these collaborators.

"As for Dragon Turtle, why he suddenly stocked up, that's not important."

"You don't have to worry, it has exhausted its resources, and it is impossible to acquire more Starry Sky Shells."

"It only has 960,000 tons of goods. Compared with the entire trade market, with thousands of counterparties, it is just a small splash."

"In addition, the time for the price increase of the Starry Sky Shell is in our hands. As long as we don't disclose the formula of the Light Talisman, it will be difficult for it to increase in price."

"After purchasing enough Starry Sky Shells, and let the price fluctuate a few times, I will see if the Dragon Turtle can bear it!"

Zhang Ming changed the topic: "Everyone, this is a top-secret plan!"

"Now that you have participated, there is no possibility of withdrawing."

"Everyone, please be sure to restrain the words and deeds of your subordinates! Once the news is exposed... you should know the consequences."

Zhang Ming's voice deepened, and streaks of purple lightning appeared in the corners of the room, bringing a terrifying and wild atmosphere.

This lightning was extremely controlled, only as thick as a hair, and fleeting.

The rest of the snake people and Akala people were even more silent. Now that they were on the pirate ship, it was impossible to jump off the ship temporarily. They could only pray silently in their hearts for the success of the entire plan.

…

…

In this way, two months passed quickly, and the spaceship of Wanhai Civilization finally arrived at its destination.

Looking down from an altitude of 100,000 meters, the huge civilization exchange market is just around the corner. It is a huge artificial continent!

Yes, humans and snakes have built an "Island of Friendship" in the Sea of ​​Demon Gods.

And Wan Hai Civilization simply created an artificial continent!

Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a flat, round pie spread evenly on the sea.

The busy logistics are like ants on the road, the endless air transportation is like a nest of flying wasps, and the magnetic levitation roads across the continents make people feel like they are in the interstellar era. feel.

Wanhai Civilization is the strongest civilization in this world. Its strength is not only its individual strength, but also its comprehensive strength.

"Ding!" A ringing sound awakened many passengers from their surprise.

"Dear passengers, please note that our destination will be arriving soon."

"Each civilization should unload its cargo at a specific location in order according to the order on the screen."

"Before the unloading work is completed, other civilizations, please don't worry." Captain Gandolf's slightly hoarse voice sounded on the radio, "For the civilizations who come here for the first time, our Wanhai Civilization will provide free There will be a 5-year exchange period, and a certain amount of settlement fees will be charged after 5 years.”

"The standard currency 'Wanhai Coin' issued by Wanhai Civilization can be used in the trading market. You can exchange most common raw materials into standard currency."

According to the standards of Wan Hai Civilization, 1 World Source = 10,000 Hai Coins, which is simply outrageous!

They also know that no civilization is willing to exchange like this, so they simply use raw materials to convert. After all, raw materials can be bought and sold easily.

But even so, just distributing currency is enough to make a profit, without any capital or profit!

"This Wanhai Civilization is really stingy. It actually costs money to live here!" Zhang Ming cursed in his heart and picked up a leaflet and glanced at it.

The human translators have not been idle in the past two months. They have already translated this leaflet into human language and written a series of entry fees.

This cost is mainly calculated based on the land area, building area required by each civilization, and the total amount of living resources required.

Each civilization brings a lot of communication representatives, such as scientists, negotiators, translators, doctors, etc., and these people all have to eat, drink and defecate.

It is not a problem to support them in a short period of time, but if all the civilizations in the world are raised, it will obviously not be a long-term thing.

So after five years, a certain fee will be charged according to a certain mathematical formula.

It's not too expensive.

After calculation, human experts believe that the 5,000 staff currently carrying only 1 yuan of Wanhai coins are enough to survive for 8-10 years.

"This price is quite acceptable... I don't make too much money." Zhang Ming thought in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Gandolf say again: "The Wanhai Civilization Trading Market encourages civilization exchanges, joint cooperation, learning from each other's strengths, and mutual progress."

"Therefore, we do not charge any transaction fees for private trade activities between civilizations."

"If Wan Hai Civilization is used as the middleman, a 5% transaction fee will be charged. We guarantee the execution of all contracts with our credibility and there will be no forced buying or selling."

It is very difficult for civilizations to trust each other.

Humans and snake people are so close in geographical location and have cooperated for so many years. Occasionally, there are still disagreements, not to mention those civilizations that are completely unknown to them.

There are many cases of big fish eating small fish.

Just like the dragon turtle, after being forcefully bought and sold, its status was not affected at all!

It wasn't until the Dragon Turtle sold Bixi's egg that the major civilizations felt that it had no trading value.

Therefore, it is true that there are many cases of deception and abduction; it is not uncommon for people to run away after receiving deposits; transactions are half-executed and contracts are broken.

Therefore, Wanhai Civilization stipulates that your private transactions, whether you make a profit or a loss, have nothing to do with me, and you are responsible for your grudges.

Who can figure out the merits and demerits?

I really want to but can’t!

But if Wan Hai Wenming is invited to be the intermediary, he will need to charge 5% of the transaction fee and supervise the completion of the contract.

Don’t think that 5% is very little, that’s pure profit!

How many civilizations dare to offend the strongest civilization in this world?

Therefore, this kind of middleman activity costs almost nothing and basically makes money.

Gandolf said a lot in spiritual language during the broadcast: "In addition, if your civilization wants to participate in the commodity trading market, it needs to pay a deposit of 3 million sea coins. Any breach of contract will be deducted from this amount. Deposit."

"For details, please refer to pages six to twelve of the guide manual."

"The rare goods trading market is located in the southwestern corner of the continent. It is held every ten years. The latest one will start in four years. If major civilizations want to sell rare items, they can register the corresponding information."

Rare items refer to crown-level materials above level 10, such as high-level irregular materials, remains of mythical beasts, heavenly wonders, innate wonders, ancient relics and other very rare items.

"The unique technology trade market is located in the northwest corner. If you have unique technologies you want to buy or sell, you can also go there to observe. There are currently at least 800 civilizations trading unique technologies."

"As for the various guild organizations established by major civilizations, we will not go into details here...please explore on your own."

Prosperity, really too prosperous.

How much resources will a civilization with a long history have to accumulate if it operates such a trading market for many years?

How magical would it be to integrate the unique technologies of many civilizations?

Humans, it’s hard to imagine!

Listening to Gandolf's explanation, Zhang Ming focused his attention on the "commodity trading market."

The commodity trading market is a place that specializes in selling and purchasing raw materials.

From the most common first-level materials to the ninth-level materials, you can easily buy them here, including the second-level material "Starry Sky Shell".

For some resources with relatively large trading volume, market prices similar to stock transactions are also set. As long as there are transactions, the market prices will change.

Of course, most civilizations are not willing to use the "Source of the World" to buy and sell, so here you can use the universal currency of the Wanhai Civilization "Wanhai Coin".

These currencies can be obtained through the purchase, sale and mortgage of commodities.

For example, if a certain civilization wants to buy "golden sand" worth one hundred units of the source of the world, but does not want to pay for the "source of the world", it can mortgage another raw material on hand to the Wanhai civilization's trading market to obtain 100 yuan currency.

This currency can then be used to purchase "golden sand".

Of course, the mortgage price is usually only 20% to 10% off the market price.

Even if you don’t redeem it, Wanhai Civilization will still make money.

With the intervention of currency, the liquidity of the market has been greatly increased. Although everyone dislikes this currency and feels a bit like being ripped off, there is no way to completely abandon it.

"I understand, it's a market maker." Wang Fumin breathed a sigh of relief next to him, "It seems that this exchange is really strong."

Gandolf finally said: "We also provide some quite interesting entertainment projects here. In the very center of the continent, there is a death arena. Only soldiers below the limit of the soul can participate in the competition."

"If your civilization has nothing, you can try your luck in the Death Arena."

"Perhaps the warriors of your civilization can bring you honor and wealth."

"What? This ghost place also provides gambling services? However, normal civilization is walking on thin ice during the transaction process. How can you think of going to the arena to gamble?" Wang Fumin was shocked and had some doubts about life.

He has been extremely stressed these days, because the acquisition of "Starry Sky Shell" has a hint of gambling.

Even after careful planning, he was still nervous!

How can any civilized leader really go to the death arena to gamble and lose the future and destiny of civilization?

Gondor, who was sitting aside, shook his head and said: "It is naturally impossible for a technological civilization with a strict system like ours to gamble."

"But there are still quite a few civilizations whose social systems are completely different from ours."

"For example, if a certain strong man rules the entire civilization and establishes a unified government, or if a certain bloodline family rules the world, without any restrictions, the probability of them gambling is still very high..."

"Their ideas are completely different from ours. Civilians are just their property, no different from pigs, cattle and sheep."

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment and almost understood.

This type of civilization is equivalent to feudal civilization, with power concentrated in one body.

The wealth belongs to oneself, so there is no psychological burden when gambling.

Or it is a more primitive civilization, the kind that has no morals at all.

The Sea of ​​Demon Gods is so vast and complex, and the innate gap between races is also huge. Some species can easily climb to the limit of spirituality, and even climb to the level of transcendent, by relying solely on their bloodline; while for most species, even humans Even the most extreme levels cannot be passed.

This fact is indeed extremely sad...

However, when God closes a door, he will open a window.

Civilizations that rely on blood often have serious problems with their systems and cannot mobilize the power of the masses; civilizations without blood can actually become technological civilizations.

"Dear passengers, the above are the basic trade rules of our Wanhai civilization. I hope everyone will get along happily here, and I hope the world will always be there and civilization will last forever!" "Gandolfo" bowed slowly on the screen.

Randomly, the spacecraft slowly landed from an altitude of 100,000 meters.

Zhang Ming frowned slightly. He suddenly felt several extremely powerful auras distributed in every corner of this continent!

Those breaths were undisguised, like the gazes of giant beasts from the deep sea, making one's soul tremble and make one's body break out in cold sweat.

Even an extraordinary person like him couldn't help but be on guard.

In less than a second, the breath suddenly disappeared again, as if the scene just now was just an illusion - Zhang Ming guessed that it might have been deliberately created by Wan Hai Civilization to shock all major civilizations.

"Lao Zhang, did you feel like you were being targeted just now?" Lao Wang couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's nothing. It may be caused by some unique technology. It doesn't look like a normal creature."

[It is indeed not a normal life form. I think it is the remains of divine beasts. There are at least four complete remains of divine beasts guarding the four corners of the continent. They were obviously much stronger than you when they were alive. 】

"Well, if Bai Ze is here, he should be able to tell who these guys are..."

In addition, Zhang Ming was keenly aware of the uniqueness of this continent.

Its architectural composition is very planned, including the distribution of traffic roads and rivers, which seem to follow some special rules.

Even though they are all artificially constructed, they give people a sense of majestic beauty of mountains, rivers and rivers, just like a real world.

Gourd whispered: [According to my estimation, the "spirits" of this continent are more than 60% richer than the ordinary areas of the Sea of ​​Demon Gods. They should be gathered through certain technologies. 】

[These formations have also been studied by Earth Civilization and Mr. Bai Ze. There have been some breakthroughs, but they are not as mature as here. 】

[In addition, I also observed some defensive formations arranged in the corners of various buildings. I just don’t know how strong its defense strength is. If you fight here, you will be suppressed. 】

Zhang Ming nodded slightly: "Can this kind of defensive rune be imitated and plagiarized?"

[It’s difficult because we don’t know the principles. 】

[The way of runes is equivalent to a naturally existing programming language. 】

[Think about it, these defense formations are equivalent to ready-made software. Without a solid theoretical foundation, it is impossible to decipher the information encoding of the software. Of course I will try to crack it in my spare time, but don't have high expectations. 】

Zhang Ming shrank his neck and whispered: "How about we steal it directly? Don't I have the ability to teleport? Find some material warehouses, and I will teleport you in. Stealing like that will make you big. fiscal."

Miss Calabash said quietly: [Dear Mr. Zhang, I float in the air as fast as a snail. When I steal something, I will faint because of my excitement, and I won't fight. Are you sure you want to risk losing me by stealing something? 】

"Ahem." Moral Abyss, Robber, Thief, Zhang Ming could only give up his plan to become a thief temporarily.

The amount of information obtained by looking down from high in the sky was too much. At first glance, he found that his eyes could not penetrate the ground. It might be because of some powerful defensive runes.

So he recorded them all in the memory library and analyzed them slowly when he had time.

"Boom!" The spacecraft landed smoothly.

"Mr. Zhang, we have arrived at our destination." Gondor said excitedly.

Because of their close relationship with the Honggang people, the human delegation was the first civilization to disembark from the spacecraft.

In order to deceive others, the human cargo was not completely loaded into the space gourd, so it took a week to load and unload the cargo.

Then the spacecraft left with a bang, unloading the cargo of the next civilization.

Shimama's nemesis, the Dragon Turtle, naturally flew away as well.

The giant turtle is still obsessed with its spring and autumn dream of "full of shells in the starry sky, betting on its appreciation"... Many civilizations think it has gone crazy, and only a few civilizations such as humans are wary of the dragon turtle.

"Gondor, your Honggang civilization has good communication skills. Send someone to keep an eye on the dragon turtle."

"It's not necessary to monitor it all the time. Just know its general movements."

Gondor said quickly: "We are already doing this. As far as I know, the Dragon Turtle has been in a state of anxiety since the warehouse was full, for fear that the goods would not be able to get out and would rot in their hands... I really don’t understand what’s going on in its head.”

Zhang Ming coughed and said, "Maybe it's telepathy..."

"You should have guessed that it is Shimama's biological brother, so it calls itself the Flame Horn Civilization. The two brothers have some telepathy, which is normal."

"Shimama's desire to increase prices may have spread to the dragon turtle, causing it to develop spiritual consciousness."

"So that's it, there is still this kind of relationship!" Gondor widened his eyes and suddenly realized, "Then we can have a relationship? That dragon turtle is indeed very powerful, a top powerhouse! Brother Shimama is also a bit It’s okay.”

"I advise you not to."

"Because the two brothers are huge enemies... That's it. As long as the dragon turtle doesn't get in the way, leave it alone."

Under the leadership of Wan Hai Civilization Envoy, Zhang Ming, Wang Fumin and others came to a splendid conference hall.

In this place, you can register basic information about major civilizations, unique technologies you are good at, goods for sale, etc.

Under normal circumstances, all major civilizations will tell the truth.

Because the registered information will affect communication with other civilizations.

If you don't register anything and treat your unique technology as a treasure and hide it away, other civilizations will simply ignore you. After all, when communicating here, you must first show your value.

Everyone's time is precious, and no one will communicate with a worthless civilization.

Even humans are like this.

"Human civilization, unique technologies: ultra-low temperature etching, freezing light, irregular industrial rooms, low-temperature sealing system... a very interesting technological system. I believe that many civilizations will be interested in the goods you provide."

The strength of these staff members is very strong. At first glance, it seems that the lowest level workers have also broken through the second level of human limit, which is the Grand Master level.

Some of the humanoid creatures have antlers on their heads and bat-like wings on their backs, and should be able to fly.

The racial individuals of Wanhai Civilization seem to be in a mess, with many of them, or perhaps they have optimized their bloodline, resulting in large differences in individual appearance.

Fortunately, they were wearing uniform white uniforms, so they could distinguish which ones were staff and which ones were individuals from other civilizations.

The skin of the leading male creature showed a bronze color. When he saw that "human civilization has a transcendent," he was slightly startled, and his tone became obviously respectful: "Dear Transcendent, hello, if you are interested, you can participate. Three years later, the Extraordinary Academic Exchange Association will discuss the application of blood and extraordinary spirits."

"I believe you must have encountered a lot of confusion in the process of practice, and you can get a lot of answers there."

"Of course, this is not mandatory, everything is voluntary."
