Take StarCraft with You

"That's right." The female clerk nodded and smiled, put her waist on her waist, pinched the pda and walked towards the airport, her high-heeled shoes made "Gada, Gada..." on the shiny ground.

On the other side, when the Morningstar entered the berth, the hydraulic equipment was fixed on the hull, and Tang Fang took Clea, Tang Lin, Tang Yun, Grant, Walton, and Zhou Ai out of the connecting passage.

The Customs officers of Star Alliance stepped forward, greeted several people, asked a few questions briefly, checked their physical condition, and collected DNA information before handing out temporary passports to several people.

The situation in the Tianchao star area is different from other sovereign countries. It is a mixed bag. There are three religions, all kinds of people, all forces, but it is like a disputed area with ambiguous sovereignty.

Because of the game behavior of the various forces, the Star Alliance actually controls only more than 300 star systems, the Phoenix Empire has about 400 star systems, and the Eagle Cluster has nearly 300 star systems. The remaining nearly 400 star systems are actually controlled by big chaebols, exiled nobles, stronghold forces, mercenary organizations, and large pirate groups.

Under such a general environment, the Star Alliance obviously cannot formulate a complete household registration policy like Monya, Sulu and other countries, which is especially manifested in its attitude towards foreigners.

In service-oriented Starport like "Rockia", it is inevitable that there will be some explorers, pirates disguised as ordinary people, bounty hunters, multinational business travel teams, etc. For such travelers, as long as they are not on the Star Alliance Wanted List, the policy is always to not ask about their origins or backgrounds, as long as the travelers abide by local laws and regulations during their stay in Xinggang, do not cause trouble, and take care of you elsewhere. Is Jiang Yang the thief, or a cold-blooded killer.

Of course, there are still necessary security measures, like temporary passports. A positioning instrument is installed inside. Without it, it would be difficult to move in Xinggang. Moreover, foreign merchants like Tang Fang. Activities can only be carried out in commercial areas, and no entry is allowed in other places.

Find out what you can and cannot do. Don't pass the reception staff, a group of several people took the shuttle and departed from the pier to the business district of "Rockia".

For safety reasons, the mooring wharf is separated from the main building of Xinggang by a certain distance. The whole "Lokiah" is like a big tree, and its sub-regions are like branches, attached to the main trunk.

After a few minutes, the shuttle stopped steadily. A group of seven people filed down. At the beginning of the landing, Grant had already done the statistical work with the ship officer Yuffi, and listed the daily necessities needed in a table.

After arriving in the "Lokia" business district, the first thing to do is not to purchase, but to find a way to convert Monya coins into Star Alliance coins. However, the answer from the navigation robot made Tang Fang frowned.

The bank of "Lokia" does not have the business of exchanging large amounts of foreign currencies. Only in the 6.7 light-year-old "Qatar" stellar system can a foreign exchange exchange be set up for foreign merchants to exchange large amounts of stellar currency.

Of course, for small amounts. "Lokiah" can still afford foreign currency exchanges worth millions and below. However, the quota of hundreds of millions is obviously beyond the acceptance scope of Rockia Bank.

Go to "Qatar". How could it take a week? Tang Fang didn't want to go so far, just to exchange Monya coins for Star Alliance coins. There must be a foreign exchange exchange in the "Babylon" free market, and the same will apply to exchanges at that time.

Just one million stars is enough to deal with the procurement process, but... In addition to general service-oriented commercial facilities, "Rockia" also has a mineral resources trading center. Although it is a small trade, no matter how small the ant is Meat.

Obviously. Millions of stars are not enough to pay for mineral trading. Tang Fang thought for a while and decided to sell some of the scientific research materials obtained at the Crotan Galaxy Armament Research and Development Center. Anyway, it's useless for him to keep these things, so he might as well sell them for some star coins.

Thought of this. Then he spoke out the thoughts in his heart. Several people had no objection, and Grant and Walton went to exchange for star coins, and then bought supplies. Tang Lin had planned to go with Tang Fang, but didn't want to be held back by Tang Yun. He acted like a coquettish and had no choice but to agree to go shopping with her.

After watching the four people go, Tang Fang led Zhou Ai and Kleiya to the free trade zone not far from the mineral resources trading area in accordance with the instructions of the commercial area layout plan.

As the frontier Xinggang near the "Lost Land", "Rockia" has a permanent population of more than 300,000, mostly navy soldiers, government employees, Xinggang staff, business owners, employees and their families.

Compared with these permanent residents, there are also many mobile populations composed of expeditions and business groups. This can be seen from the crowds of people with different accents and different costumes.

There are three most prestigious places in "Rockia". 1. The free trade zone, similar to the free market in "Babylon", has a wide range of commodities. Of course, arms, minerals, and illicit goods are the majority, and some low-value epsilon items can be seen from time to time.

Second, the Adventurer’s Pub. It is said that every service starport near the "Lost Land" has such facilities, whether it is a Starport worker who has worked for a day, an expedition member returning from a sailing, or a taciturn bounty hunter or leisure The mercenaries all like to come here for a drink and get confused for a while to relieve fatigue and stress in work and life.

At the same time, this is also a channel to inquire about the situation in the Tianchao star area and obtain some secrets and gossip. Well, it is a good place to fight and have fun.

Third, the beautiful entertainment places, whether it is an expedition, or a business group, mercenaries, pirates, etc., most of them are rough people. There are many kinds of money to make women, such as food, cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, etc. But for men, if they want them to spend a lot of money, there is only one thing, women, beautiful women!

From nightclubs, ktv, to baths and massage parlors, the entertainment venues in "Rockia" are almost as long as a block. The girls are even more like the sisters in the ancient brothel prostitutes, rubbing grease and powder, dressing exposed, or standing in front of the store, or wandering the streets and alleys, glaring at the men who pass by.

The Chaos and Confusion Theory of Tianchao Star District is a paradise of freedom. At least Star Alliance officials will not treat civilians like pigs and dogs like the aristocratic class of the Monya Empire. Here, it is relatively democratic.

The government officials at the grass-roots level are also very polite to the businessmen. You must know that the Tianchao star area is not the only one of the Star Alliance. The major forces are playing games with each other here. If it bullied others like the Monya Empire and didn't take the people seriously, the Star Alliance would be over.

Along the way. The Tang side saw a lot, despite the constant wars between the Star Alliance and the Phoenix Empire. There are even more inland countries nearby, and they may perish at any time. However, the people are full of vitality, far from the lifeless image of the Monya Empire.

The police will send the drunk to a special rest area. Community volunteers can be seen everywhere. Old people strolling back and forth on the street carrying a variety of playthings. Groups of three and five play cards. Rub Mahjong.

Even the most dirty **** and transactions are much more formal than most countries. As long as they pay taxes in accordance with the law, the government will provide them with insurance, pensions, and regular medical examinations. Well, there are free Durex, Okamoto distribution.

It stands to reason that a large number of adventurers, mercenaries, and bandits gathered in such a place. Where the villain is, chaos and disorder are what he should look like. However, the fact is the opposite. The law and order of "Lokiah" is very good. Although there are often drunks who fight against each other with disagreement, bloodshed is rare.

Tang Fang was also surprised by this at first, but when he thought about it deeper, he understood a little bit. A place like "Rockia" is like a safe haven. No matter how cold the killer is, no matter how frenzied the bandit is, there will be a tired day at this time. They need to come to a place like "Rockia" to relax.

Traitors like him also need facilities such as "Rockia" and a free market. therefore. Few people would want to mess up "Rockia".

"Tang Fang, here." Just when he was distracted. Zhou Ai reminded.

"Yeah." Tang Fang woke up when he heard the words and took a closer look, only to find that he had come to the free trade zone of "Rockia".

Unlike the commercial street in front, there are a large number of explorers and members of the trade group here, and few civilians are seen. Only a few patrol police slowly drive around the block in a scooter.

The pavement of the free trade zone is also unique, unlike the inherent shop model of ordinary neighborhoods. In "Rockia", only some large registered enterprises, trade associations, commercial organizations, etc. are allowed to establish inherent shops, exchanges, offices and other facilities in the free trade zone. If small units and individuals have transaction needs, the management department of the free trade zone will sort the transaction information and send it to the corresponding trade zone for people to browse.

If someone takes a fancy to an item, or possesses something that a merchant wants to buy, and has an intention to replace it, they can choose to contact the merchant face-to-face or anonymously to discuss transaction details with the merchant. Even after the negotiation, he didn't need to come forward. The Star Alliance, an intermediary, would directly complete the rest of the transaction process, and only need to pay the Star Alliance a certain commission afterwards.

"Tsk, tusk...The people in Star Alliance are quite business-minded, and they are very thorough in protecting customer identities." Tang Fang praised sincerely. After all, this is the Tianchao star area, where pirates are rampant. Illegal goods, smuggled goods, etc. can be seen everywhere, and it is even normal for people to change their lives. For example, the two sisters Yingluo and Linglong were sold by traffickers in the Turanx United Kingdom to a stronghold in the Tianchao star area, and then transferred to the Monya Empire.

Of course, human traffickers don't dare to appear in the Star Alliance's free trade zone openly. They only use the trading platform. The so-called product names will be packaged in layers, and those who are interested will understand it.

Regarding this, the management personnel of the Star Alliance are also well aware of this, but due to the situation in Tianchao, they have more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

In Tang Fang's view, the Star Alliance is not so much a country as it is a deformed regime. With a little bit of image, it is... equivalent to a system in an online game, providing services such as trading platforms, supply stores, and safe areas. Organizations such as stronghold forces, pirates, mercenaries, explorers, merchant groups, etc. are game players.

As for the "Phoenix" Empire, the Silver Eagle Group, the relationship between the tribe and the alliance?

Tang Fang shook his head and smiled openly. He took it for granted. This is not playing World of Warcraft. Unlike the Star Alliance, he has limited knowledge of the information about the "Phoenix" and the Silver Eagle Group, and has no in-depth knowledge.

"Let's go, go in and take a look." When he walked to the door of the free trade zone, Tang Fang looked up at the zoning rules, and walked straight into a trading hall after entering the door.

In the hall covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, it is divided into multiple areas, and huge screens are hung on the octagonal walls, and the transaction information is beating from time to time. Some people are looking for parts of ships, some are selling arms and fuel, and some are recruiting crew members. There are also small purchase orders for cargo ships, even shuttles, carrier aircraft, and battleships.

Of course, there are some strange things. Tang Fang hadn't even heard the name of the goods.

Many people stood in the hall. Most of the members of the business group, one by one looked at the display screen in thought. Most of the people who are preparing to purchase goods in such small trading halls are little-known small business groups, or even retail investors, who rely on buying and selling between space stations, residential stars, and different forces to mix up their meals.

In addition to this kind of people, there are a very small number of well-dressed guys with a slightly arrogant look. I just glanced over the display in a hurry and then stopped paying attention, or found a place to sit down and have a coffee, quietly waiting for the information to refresh, or pick up the contact tool and send an e-.

Tang Fang thought about it carefully. These well-dressed guys are probably the buyers of large and medium-sized business groups. They generally dismiss items with low-volume, low-tech, and low-profit items. They are definitely the kind that do not open for three years. Senior businessman who has been eating for three years.

In addition, there is another kind of people in the hall. In terms of dress, height and appearance, he is very inconspicuous, seemingly indistinguishable from ordinary businessmen. However, Tang Fang was keenly aware of something abnormal, and these guys did not focus on the monitor, but instead on the businessmen.

"Hmph... the drunkard's intention is not to drink. This is probably the local snakes who make a living by selling information, or even the pirates sent to Starport to spy on the information."

Naturally, Tang Fang would not put these people in his eyes. He was not afraid of the regular army, not to mention some small thieves.

The arrival of the three of them did not attract the attention of the businessmen in the hall. Only a few thief-eyed guys in the corner cast provocative glances at Claire and Zhou Ai, and there was also a dead man with a big back. Whistle. He gave out two joking smirks.

Like this kind of exchange, most of the people who come are some old men. The female relatives are usually on the ship or in the hotel. Few followers. Claire and Zhou Ai are true beauties, but following a shameless yellow-faced kid will naturally make some guys uncomfortable.

Of course, in "Lokiah", even if they are local snakes, they are just addicted to the mouth, and they dare not do anything unusual.

It's a pity that they chose the wrong person, but Claire is fine, frowning, as if unheard. Zhou Aike has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. Only after that "tsk tsk" she fell, her face sank, and she turned her head to look at the provocative person.

Originally sitting on the metal railing at the end of the partition with a big back, when the girl stared, she couldn't help but shiver, her face turned pale in shock, and she almost fell over.

Don't think Zhou Ai is just a woman, she is still a very beautiful woman, but in terms of murderousness, more than anyone in the Tang camp, a small "Lokiah" **** molested her? That's really called death.

"Zhou Ai, don't cause trouble." Tang Fang grabbed her hand and shook his head.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of measure." Zhou Ai also smiled and stopped paying attention to those who didn't open his eyes.

The big back head swallowed, shivered, walked down the rail, and ran out with his tail in his hands. After spending so many years in Lokiah, he still has the eyesight that he should have. Although Zhou Ai only glared at him, it made him clearly aware of one thing, if not here, in another place, that woman I'm afraid it will chop off his head with a single knife.

The one who has never killed, the one who has killed, the one who kills like a numb...The temperaments of these three people are very different, and that woman definitely belongs to the third kind. It's just... why would such a character follow a shameless yellow-faced kid, and deliberately suppress his murderous spirit, willing to be a follower. He...what is his origin? Do you want to tell the boss about this?

In general, all these gangsters and gangsters who stray in the harbor and piers have more or less backing. As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat roads, from local officials of the Star Alliance to the pirate business groups. The rogues in the market do intelligence gathering work. In this regard, Tang Fang knew well that he still had to do sourcing work in "Rockia", so that it would be best to avoid trouble.

After screening out the buying information on a terminal~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he browsed it carefully and found that the most popular items are naturally epsilon-related creations, various purchases and various recycling. However, the manufacturing technology of vehicles and ships is very unpopular, and there are no people who want to buy them.

"Let's go, go and take a look elsewhere." Tang Fang greeted the two and turned to walk towards the merchant area.

In the free trade zone, the shops and offices in the merchant zone are almost monopolized by some large and medium-sized consortia. There are franchised organizations and grocery stores. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, as long as you have value, you can Find what you want here.

For such large and medium-sized commercial organizations, the credibility is guaranteed, which is the most reassuring, and there will never be such things as fraud. But in terms of price, if you are buying something, it is naturally more expensive than outside. If you are selling something, you must be mentally prepared to be slaughtered.

Tang Fang walked all the way in the Mongolian Empire, and the wool he got was as much as a wagon. Those who run from land, swim in the water, and fly into the sky. There is a database full of manufacturing processes for vehicles, aircraft, battleships, and small space-based facilities. These are all money, a lot of money. No one dares to accept it outside, and they can’t afford it, but it does not mean that the guys in the merchant area have no such financial resources. You must know that in the Tianchao star area where illicit trading is legalized, as long as it is profitable, no merchant will do business. Push it out. (To be continued)
